Abstract
    The objective of this report is to compute forces on a barge with a drift angle of 90 degrees at six different drafts between 1 m and 4 m and three different under‐keel clearances for a total of 18 conditions. For each of these conditions, a separate grid had to be constructed. The output is used to improve the mathematical model of barges and push convoys for a study for VNF in Paris. This report describes the barge geometry, the setup of the computations and some results.
