Outline of Final Research Achievements

Ship accidents in seas near Japan and throughout the world are considered to be caused by encounters with freak waves whose height outstand the surrounding waves. However, wave measurement at the time of the accident is rather limited, and the actual causes of the ship accidents are seldom discovered. In this research, we have developed a system to numerically hindcast the sea state during the ship accident and analyze the dangerous wave, and generate the wave in an experimental model basin. Sea states when freak waves were observed in an open ocean were analyzed and freak waves were generated in the tank. Through this study, we have gained new knowledge about the geometry of the freak waves, its temporal evolution, and the associated ship motion and load.
