| Summary | There is a risk that containers might be drifted by a storm surge in ports and examples have reported at Mikawa Port and Mizushima Port. Some simulation models have been constructed for Tsunami, but there is lack of information for storm surge, for examples, a resistant force and a collision force affected by wind, wind-driven current and wind-wave due to the typhoon and storm surge. In this study, experiments with wind-wave channel are conducted, in order to obtain the information above and to check a container's drift behavior. |
