Estimating Ship Engine Power for EFDC+ Propeller Wash Simulations
Developing a propeller wash model requires specifying the ship and propeller properties as model input parameters.
Propwash
High-Resolution Marine Cadastre AIS Data for Propwash Modeling
Propeller wash (propwash) causes sediment scour in the seabed that can threaten the safety of structures in ports and harbors and cause environmental problems
Kingston Ferry Terminal Propwash Simulation
Sediment erosion caused by propeller wash from ships is of considerable concern in many ports and harbors for terminal safety.
Propeller Wash Simulation Using Historical Ship Track Data
Simulation of the impacts of propeller wash in hydrodynamic and sediment transport models requires detailed information on ship travel routes and the physical characteristics of each ship.
Propwash Mixing of a Hypersaline Bottom Layer
A 3D EFDC+ simulation showing how propeller wash from passing ships breaks up a 100 ppt hypersaline bottom layer in a navigation canal.
Testing Procedures for the EFDC+ Propeller Wash Module with Sediment Transport
DSI is continually developing new features for EFDC+ and EFDC+ Explorer Modeling System (EEMS).
The Importance of Propeller Wash Modeling
Many urban waterfronts are contaminated with metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and other organic chemicals, often as deep as 20 feet within the sediment bed.
Velocity Profile of a Propeller Moving Through a Channel
In our propeller wash (propwash) blog series, we have shared details of the propwash simulation feature that will soon be available in the upcoming version of EEMS.
