- Describing large waves in severe storms is fundamental to all marine activities; directionality being key to the applied loads/motions on fixed/floating structures. The work explains the evolution of the largest waves, bridging the gap between long random simulations and deterministic studies. Results have been incorporated into updated HSE guidance (contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk) and included in a third-party assessment of the reliability of all offshore structures in UK waters; has been extended into shallower water in collaboration with Queens University Belfast (FoEREF@ic.ac.uk) and has generated industrial funding via the LOWISH JIP (£173k), Hyundai Heavy Industries (£200k) and EPSRC/BP case Award (£125k).
