Pacific International Engineering performs studies on the hydrodynamic effects of vessels ranging from deep-draft containerships and oil tankers to passenger-only fast ferries. Pacific International engineers have developed numerical modeling tools for the simulation of jet/propeller wash, pressure fields, and vessel wakes. Engineers in the firm have applied these tools to determine vessel-vessel interaction, vessel-generated effects at the shore, and disturbance of bottom material by vessels.

Services provided include:

  • Deep-Draft Vessel Hydrodynamics
  • Mooring Analysis and Berthed Vessel Dynamics
  • Jet/Propeller Wash
  • Vessel Wakes
  • Physical and Numerical Modeling
  • Field Data Collection and Monitoring

Projects:

Port of Oakland Vessel Hydrodynamics Study
Corpus Christi Ship Channel Deepening Analysis
