To assure safe ship operations on one hand side and to reduce operational restrictions to a minimum a proper knowledge of the ship's behavior in waves is necessary. One approach to achieve this is to generate an exact mathematical model of a ship and the fluid–structure–interaction in order to determine dangerous and safe operational conditions by analyzing the behavior with present numerical methods from nonlinear dynamics theory. Comparison between numerical simulations and experimental results as well as two sets of save and dangerous conditions for a given model of a real ship are shown. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
