| Abstract: | This paper aims to evaluate the impact of ships on fenders during the berthing process. Physical tests and numerical simulations with MOORNAV tool were performed with versions of the GulfStream ship in still water and under a set of different conditions. A comparative analysis was made between outputs of the two models considering specific conditions. The MOORNAV application resulted in a standard deviation from the physical model of 3% to 6% in relation to the maximum force exerted on each fender. |

| CI97_Gomes.pdf | Numerical models properly developed, validated, and calibrated are a valuable tool in the design and/or improvement of berthing, mooring and fendering. These are very efficient to simulate rapidly ship impact on fenders but, to improve the reliability of their use in practice, it is necessary to calibrate several parameters through physical model measurements. The validation process of the numerical models requires reliable data collected in situ or measured in scale-model tests as these provide relevant information and results about berthing processes. | 1.05 MB | Adobe PDF | View/Open |
