This paper is concerned with the role of model tests and computational methods for the prediction of loads and motions of ships and other floating structures in waves. A review is given of a number of the real life situations for which quantitative data on loads or motions are required. Based on this review, state-of-art methods in model tests and numerical confutations are treated Finally, some general conclusions regarding the conditions for further progress in the plication of numerical prediction methods and experimental techniques are presented. |
