Abstract

- Summary The on - going development and evolution of numerical hydrodynamic modelling has allowed for and facilitated the propagation phenomena of wave movement, refraction, diffraction, shoaling, reflection, friction, percolation, transmission, ...to be studied whilst the sensitivity of specialists and designers to them has increased. A large part of outer protection constructions in Spain are located in deep depths and do not call for wide approach channels and dock access manoeuvring circles to fulfill the cargo transfer ruction which the port system affords. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of shipping channels on quay operativeness. Two st
