Abstract This paper focuses on issues related to Validation, i.e., determining for a computational tool that predicts the motions of a vessel in extreme seas if the theory and the code that implements the theory accurately models the relevant physical problem of interest. The challenge of this validation is the fact that the excitation process— waves—are stochastic and that as a consequence, the responses are in turn stochastic. Therefore, there are three aspects of the problem that must be dealt with: how much data is sufficient; what statistical techniques should be used to analyse the data; and how should the data be compared? Possible answers to these questions are provided.

验证极端条件下不规则波浪代码中的六自由度机动——实用方面

摘要 本文重点讨论与验证相关的问题，即，如果理论和实现该理论的代码准确地模拟了相关的物理问题，则确定用于预测船舶在极端海洋中运动的计算工具。这种验证的挑战在于激发过程——波——是随机的，因此，响应又是随机的。因此，必须解决三个方面的问题：有多少数据是足够的；应该使用什么统计技术来分析数据；以及应该如何比较数据？提供了这些问题的可能答案。
