Abstract
This paper presents a home-made simplified numerical model that simulates the filling/emptying process of a navigation lock using short culvert or longitudinal culvert system. A schematized ship is modeled into the lock chamber as a two degree of freedom rigid body to evaluate the hawser forces acting on it. Several definitions of hawser forces are tested and compared to each other. A comparison between simulations with and without ship is carried out to investigate of the forces appearing. A comparison with experimental measurement is also performed.
