Abstract
To prepare space for mooring of pleasure boats, various marinas or harbors are planned to be constructed. In such planning, full investigation of natural environment has to be carried out to maintain safety mooring and amenity of the marina. In this study the effect of ship generated waves on a tranquility of marina is investigated. For the evaluation of ship generated waves, a simple neumerical method is proposed where an unsteady mild slope equation is utilized. The applicability of the method is examined by model experiments and the effect of the position of fairway in marina on the harbor tranquility is investigated nuemerically.
