Simulation of dredging processes of a cutter suction dredger

Dredging simulation is of great significance to the development of dredging engineering technology of harbor, waterway, rivers, lakes, etc. The design and implement of the dredging simulation system are introduced. The modeling and key techniques for the virtual reality of construction site, the movement of dredge vessel, the soil cutting of cutter, and the hydraulic transport of sand in a pipeline, etc., are discussed. The cutter suction dredger simulator with a multi-channel round screen has been put into operation and produced good results.

Design of 3D Scene in The Simulation System of a Cutter Suction Dredger

Based on the background of the virtual simulation system technology, design of 3D scene in the simulation system of a cutter suction dredger analyzes the key technology of the design of 3D scene in the virtual dredging system. It introduces the general ideas, relevant principles and the key technology on 3D modeling, texture mapping, lighting and rendering.
