Fast and efficient waterborne transportation
systems that can reduce travel time for commuters and
reduce shipping time and cost are fundamental to the economic well-being of
water-based communities. But, at the same time, this increases the
pressure on our waterways. The value we place on property and natural
areas along the water continues to increase, which escalates the challenge
to address the impacts of vessel traffic on waterway property,
infrastructure and environmentally sensitive areas.
Significant advances are being made in techniques for modeling vessel hydrodynamics (especially waves and wake-wash), their translation through the water to the shore, and the impacts they can produce on shorelines, river banks, and waterway infrastructure. In parallel, the enhanced understanding of the way these effects occur has led to an improved capability to design high speed vessels so as to reduce their generation of waves and wake-wash while improving their performance and efficiency.
