This report describes large-scale simulations on impulsive wave pressures using CADMAS-SURF/3D (SUper Roller Flume for Computer Aided Design of MAritime Structure in 3D), which is a three-dimensional numerical wave tankunder development. This code is also adapted to the parallel computing system and multi grid size system. Prediction ofimpulsive wave pressure using empirical formula is one of difficult problems. So, the tool for the practical use is neededto solve this problem. In this report, the validity of this model for predictions of impulsive wave pressures is verified.Large scale simulations are conducted by using the field data and the occurrence of impulsive wave pressures is discussed. At the last, the calculation cost is reported for the practical use.
