WELCOMING ADDRESS
Katsuro Hori noki ta,
Chief Executive, Shipbui lding Research Association of Japan
Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Japanese sponsoring organization, it is of
my great pi easure to wel come al 1 of you to Japan and tothe Fi fth I nternati onal
Conference on Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics.
Four keynote lectures and forty six papers will be presented by international
authorities during the four-day conference. More than 190 participants attend the
conference from sixteen countries. This is actual ly an international conference. We
are much del ighted with such a positive reaction.
Behind such a positive reaction, I guess, there is a potential expectation for the
computational fl uid dynamics, CFD. As you may know, when we started to work out to
host the conference in Japan, four years ago, the shipbuilding industries in Japan
were suffering from a serious setback. Now they are expanding their activities into
various fields and cultivating new frontier problems such as ocean engineering,
environmental sciences, high speed marine vehicles with new concepts and so on. This
may be the case i nternational ly.
The computational dynamics or simulation is a promising tool for such unkown
problems in new fields. CFD in marine hydrodynamics is expected not only to predict
the flows around the marine vehicles or ocean structures but for more global aspects
such as energy or envi ronmental probl ems.
On the other hand the high speed computers are becomi ng much popul ar and easy to
access. Thei r capabi 1 ity seems unbounded. CFD, with complementary use of the
conventional tanks, wi 11 make us possible to make further steps into new frontier
fi el ds.
Thus much is expected for this conference. I believe the conference will be
successful and fruitful. And I hope also that the conference may be a good occasion
for i nternational human channel.
Finally I would like to express our cordial gratitude to our co-sponsors. As you
know, this conference has initiated and has been supported by David Taylor Research
Center. Wi shout thei r foresight and conti nuous efforts the conference has not exi sted.
My gratitude should be extended to Office of Naval Research and Naval Studies Board
National Research Counci 1 for their consistent supports.
Again I would 1 ike to say welcome to the Fifth International Conference on
Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics. Thank you.
