Abstract

When the strong wind or long wave energy is transferred into the water body of a harbour, the harbour exhibits oscillatory resonant motions which often cause significant damage to moored ships and navigation hazards. Therefore, a number of theoretical and numerical investigations of such resonant oscillations have been carried out but most of them were limited to harbours connected with open sea of constant depth.
