We use our tools to analyze ship responses in waves. We accurately estimate the hydrodynamic forces acting on the hull in waves and simulate various phenomena caused by such forces, such as hull motion, resistance increase in waves, wave load, hull surface pressure distribution, etc. We also conduct multi-point simultaneous pressure measurements on the model hull surface using Fiber-Bragg-Grating (FBG) sensors.

Ships respond differently to waves.
Such responses include 6 degrees of freedom motion, wave-induced forces and moments, propeller exposure, acceleration, fluctuating pressure, slamming, relative water level, shipping water, resistance increase, and wave load.
These responses can be analyzed using various wave analysis systems for ships we developed.
We have a good track record of analysis results using the linear strip method, which utilizes the fact that the hull is a slender body, and various nonlinear theories that can analyze the hull shape above the still water surface.
