4.2.5 Torsminde Harbour
Purpose of the example
This example illustrates how MIKE 21 BW can be used for simulation of long-
period waves (or seiches) inside a harbour. Torsminde Harbour situated at
the Danish west coasts (see Figure 4.15) has suffered of seiches causing
moored vessels move to-and-fro from their berthing positions resulting in
breaking of mooring lines, damages on fenders and piers and sometimes col-
lisions of vessels with each other. Field measurements show substantial long-
period wave energy on wave periods 30-60 s in the harbour.
