Abstract
The Labrador Sea Extreme Waves Experiment “LEWEX”, is a comprehensive international effort, with the purpose to improve seakeeping capabilities of vessels. Two topics are identified where a scientific approach is needed in order to achieve a better understanding of phenomena and better prediction. These are:
-
Full scale measurements, experimental simulations and theoretical modelling of directional seas.
-
Sea loads, slamming, and green seas impact on vessels in directional extreme seas. This also includes prediction of extreme motions and seakeeping in extreme conditions.
