Because of the increased size of ships, the phenomenon called "ship squat" has produced serious problems in harbors where the draft of vessels approaches the depth of the ship channel. When a ship steams up a channel, the resulting flow situation is analogous to open-channel flow in which a constricting flow section exists (the ship reduces the crosssectional area of the channel). The problem may be analyzed by referencing the water velocity to the ship and applying the energy equation. Thus, at the section of the channel where the ship is located, the relative water velocity in the channel will be greatest, and the water level in the channel will be reduced as dictated by the energy equation. Consequently, the ship itself will be at a lower elevation than if it were stationary; this lowering is referred to as "ship squat."
