This paper summarizes the special session “Application of Recent Numerical Simulation Models to Engineering Design-from wave forecast to wave resistive design-.” This session has been planned to understand the latest numerical simulation models which are employed in engineering design of coastal and offshore project in a variety of the design stages from wave forecast to wave resistive design. In the session, details of the models have been presented as well as their application results. After each presentation, discussions have been done. In the discussions, the advantages and disadvantages in each model have been discussed. As far as the flow model is concerned, the numerical simulation in wave field remains many rooms for improvement. Moreover, important attentions in employing the numerical models have been explained in the discussions.
