Wave Load and Response Predictions Combining HOSM, CFD and Machine Learning

Abstract

We present efforts to progress on numerical predictions of extreme wave loads of ships by combining a variety of state-of-the-art numerical tools. Aims are the generation of wave scenarios to represent the wave excitation and corresponding structural response associated with a pre-defined probability of, e.g., one expected exceedance per life cycle, as well as the further development of numerical methods to predict the ship response to the selected wave events.
