Analysis on Throughput Capacity of Water-Saving Ship Lock in Simulation Method

Abstract When the double-line water-saving ship locks operate in mode of filling and emptying mutually, water process one lock chamber other are carried out at same time, thus situation chambers waiting for each is inevitable. Besides, variation navigating speed safety interval time between two adjacent ships may have a more significant impact on operation efficiency lock, which cannot be ignored. Combined with actual condition planned canal China, throughput capacity under mutually studied. A coupled simulation model established, or independently adopted. In model, whole processes simulated. The results show that reduced by 5.6%–7.8%, average lockage increased about 10.8%, when comparing independently. using value acceptable doing research locks. achievements can provide technical support analysis lock.
