... Hence the clarification of the breaking wave phenomenon is of essential importance for the progress in both marine structural dynamics and ship hydrodynamics represented by hull form design. Some numerical simulations for the strongly nonlinear waves have been carried out by many researchers.

... NUMERICAL METHOD Finite-difference Method For the time derivative of velocity forward differencing is used and second-order centered differencing is for the space derivatives excluding the convective terms for which third-order upwind differencing is used. Finite-volume method The WISDAM-VI method employs the coordinate system that is fitted to the body boundary but not to the free surface, so that the boundary layer around the body of arbitrary form and large freesurface deformation is simultaneously simulated.

... However, it is demonstrated in the subsequent section that the degree of accuracy can be raised to a sufficient level in case a higher-order differencing scheme such as third-order upwind scheme used here is employed in a fine grid system. After determining the interface location the dynamic free surface condition is implemented by the so-called "irregular star" techniquet16]

... However, since the TUMMACVIII method employs the rectangular grid system, it can not accurately simulate the viscous phenomena such as growth and separation of the boundary layer, which contributes to the most significant part of resistance of a ship of practical hull forms. In a practical sence, the simultaneous simulation of nonlinear wave system and viscous flow around ships would give very useful information to hull form designers.
