In rough seas, ships may be subject to wave-induced slamming loads. Thus, modelling of fluid and structural mechanics, and their dynamic interactions can help with the evaluation of fluid actions and the prediction of wave-induced loads for use in ship design. In this paper a partitioned two-way cou...
