Abstract

This paper deals with the unsteady hydrodynamic problem of a ship approaching a vertical wall on an oblique course. The ship is considered as a slender body with a trailing edge. The sway force and yaw moment acting on the ship are computed for various water depths and heading angles. The main result of this theoretical study is that generally the force is directed toward the wall and the moment tends to turn the bow away from the wall.
