The evaluation of structural responses is key element in the design of ships and offshore
structures. Fundamental to this is the determination of the design loads to support the Rule …

Offshore oil and gas drilling operations are going to remote and harsh arctic environments
with demands for heightened safety and resilience of operational facilities. The remote and …

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes
and Volume of Fluid model solver is adopted to estimate ship motion responses in bi …

Two freak waves were observed a day apart in October 2009 at a 5000-m deep moored
station in the northwest Pacific Ocean. As the typhoon passed by, the wave system …

A strip theory based partially nonlinear time domain code is extended to include body
nonlinearity in the calculation of radiation and diffraction forces, which expresses the …

We present a study on the prediction of rogue waves during the 1-hour sea state of
Hurricane Joaquin when the Merchant Vessel El Faro sank east of the Bahamas on October …

A fully nonlinear hydroelastic numerical method is proposed for the fluid–structure
interactions of elastic ships. The boundary value problem is solved by the three-dimensional …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art research progress of large-scale model at-sea
measurements in relation to ship resistance, propulsion, manoeuvrability, seakee** and …

More and more attentions have been paid on freak wave since it leads to serious damages
on marine structures. The conventional method is to conduct linear superposition in …

A new uncertainty quantifier is presented for linear transfer functions of wave-induced ship
motions and loads obtained by various seakee** codes. The numerical simulations are …
