Full scale measurements of pressure field induced on the quay wall by bow thrusters – indirect method for seabed velocities monitoring

The paper presents the results of full-scale experimental investigation of loads generated on the quay wall by bow thrusters during unberthing of a self-manoeuvring vessel. The presented research allowed for the comparison of the measurements results with generally accepted empirical prediction methods and confirmed the utility of the developed measuring setup for the on-line monitoring of jet induced loads. The conclusions from the research are focused on the strengths and limitations of the presented measuring method and its applicability for the on-line monitoring of loads induced by bow thrusters on seabed protection along the quay wall.
