Abstract
As a part of the research to prevent collision of a ship to a bridge under gale condition, the authors carried out the model tests.
Wind velocity distributions around the bridge model are measured by hot-wire anemometer and the air flows around the bridge model are visualized by using smoke-wire.
Finally, they made clear the behavior of a ship in the vicinity of the bridge under gale condition by calculating ship movement using wind data obtained in the model tests.
