Abstract: In view of the safety of over-scale fleet sailing through bridge, the water area of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is taken as the research area. Numerical simulation of flow field is conducted based on MIKE software to analyze the changes of water flow in different water periods and their effects on ship navigation. On this basis, according to the simulation results of the flow field, several test conditions are set up by using the Large Ship Maneuvering Simulator to carry out the simulation test of over-scale fleet sailing through the bridge. The results show that under the preset wind and current conditions, the over-scale fleet can safely cross the bridge with good seamanship. Combined with the simulation experiment and the captains’ experience of ship maneuvering, a navigation method for the over-scale fleet to sail through the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is proposed.
