5.1.2.2 Hull Forms

Inland vessels include motor vessels, pusher-barge systems, and towed-barge systems. Compared with the hull forms of seagoing ships, inland motor vessels in Europe commonly have larger block coefficients (), much larger length to width ratios (L/B), and much larger width to draft ratios (B/T) due to the limits imposed on the draft (T), the length (L), and the width (B) of the vessel [73]. These differences in hull forms greatly influence the ship resistance and other hull-generated hydrodynamic forces and moments in maneuvering.

Pusher-barge and towed-barge systems are widely used in inland waterways all around the world. They are superior to motor vessels regarding transport capacity in shallow water. A significant amount of research has been conducted on the hydrodynamics of pusher-barge systems. Koh and Yasukawa [40], Koh et al. [75–77], Luo and Zhang [74], Maimun et al. [78] presented maneuvering research on pusher-barge systems through numerical or experimental methods. Tabaczek [79], Tabaczek et al. [80] analyzed the resistance and planar motions of a twin-screw inland vessel with different bow forms.
