| Abstract |
Concept design guidelines for ship turning basins are often not met in practice due to environmental, economic, or geotechnicalrestrictions. In these cases, a detailed design procedure is followed to develop an optimized turning basin geometry within the environmentalconstraints. Then, real-time ship maneuvering simulations are used to evaluate the maneuvers in the proposed geometry. However, such adetailed design procedure is costly, especially if a large number of simulations are required. To restrict the number of simulations, the wa-terway authority [Voies navigables de France (VNF)] ordered a study tofind a generic and optimal design for a turning basin which could besuitable for the upgrade in the northern part of their inland waterway network. Therefore, the turning maneuvers for two typical inland nav-igation vessels were simulated in real time under different hydrometeorological conditions. This study was conducted in three stages. First,maneuvers in traditional circular and trapezoidal turning basins of different sizes were executed and analyzed. Second, optimized turningbasin geometries were developed. Finally, the turning maneuvers in those optimized geometries were analyzed. Based on the results ofthis analysis, a stepwise approach was proposed to select an optimized turning basin geometry that was based on the conditions presenton site. This stepwise approach for the design of turning basins could reduce the real-time simulations that are required when upgradinga waterway network. |
