Abstract:Waves caused by hurricanes are important to safety of ship navigation,marine and coastal structures.Hurricane waves should be considered in design wave parameters calculation.The paper uses Young & Sobey cyclone model to set up hurricane wind field,and uses the third wave model-MIKE 21 SW to simulate wave caused by hurricane,and compares the simulated results with buoy data.According to the comparison result,extreme wave parameters can be simulated well by MIKE 21 SW.
