This study experimentally investigates wave elevations induced by gap flow when floating bodies are positioned near a quay wall. Two-dimensional wave flume tests were conducted with models of uniform breadth, considering the number of floating bodies, hull geometry, and quay–ship gap distance as independent variables, while water depth and breadth were fixed. Incident wave amplitudes of 1.5 cm and 2.5 cm and a wide range of wave periods were applied. The results confirmed that piston-mode resonance occurs under both single- and two-body conditions. For the single-body case, the resonance frequency shifted to higher values as the quay–ship gap narrowed, with midship sections showing stronger responses than rectangular sections. A similar trend was observed for the two-body case, where resonance appeared not only between the quay and ship but also between the two ships. The resonance frequency in both gaps shifted to higher values as the gap distance decreased, and dual peaks were observed due to the coexistence of two resonance modes. The response amplitude was again more pronounced for midship sections. These findings enhance the understanding of gap flow in simultaneous bunkering scenarios and provide reliable experimental data for validating numerical simulations and assessing mooring safety.
