Long-running experiments with forward velocity and irregular waves were repeated with and without surge. Surge is found to increase the probability of green water events, but the impact pressures on deck and the probability of a green water event reaching the deck box decreases when the ship is free to surge. Green water and slamming events turned out to not occur independently as both event types cluster for large probabilities of occurrence. Clusters are caused by large pitch motions. Larger pressures on deck are found for clustered events. 收起
