A small vessel being overtaken by a large one in a shallow waterway will experience, at the end of the overtaking, yaw moments turning the bow to the passing vessel. If the yaw moments exceed the maximum rudder moments, a collision may be unavoidable. The danger is especially large if the small vessel is accelerated to the speed of the large one. Such a case is investigated by means of model experiments and numerical calculations using two different Rankine source free-surface potential flow solvers.
