Funded Activity Summary

Environmental Study of the Wavemaking Characteristics of High-Speed Ferries. The aim is to perform a study of the wave-making characteristics of high-speed ferries of the monohull, catamaran, and multihull type in order to be able to predict their environmental impact on river banks and sea shores. The significance is that a number of ferry services have been curtailed or cancelled as a result of suspected wave damage. The outcome will be a methodology for computing the wave system produced by such ferries in water of any depth. The nature of the rate of decay of the wave system will be included in the analysis.
