Model Port.
The Port covers about 2 ha of waterways and features a canal with a 115
degree bend.
The canal represents a 100m. wide waterway and
together with the
basin areas has a depth of 14 scale metres.
A large flat bottomed area of open water at the same
depth has been
designed to demonstrate squat and depth transition/bank effect at
speed.
Other areas represent 25m, 40m, and 50m depths for deep and shallow
water
manoeuvering comparison. Shallow water effects are experienced in
the confined waterways.
Most bank batters are 1:3 gradient, except at the east
end where 1:6
has been chosen. The three different mediums for anchor
dredging
comparisons are clay, sand and gravel.
