4. Conclusion<br />
FIGURE 6: The shape <strong>of</strong> water surface and the velocity distribution<br />
Main results from the hydraulic experiment are as follows. 1) Surface wave development was<br />
significantly inhibited due to the coverage which transversally covers water surface from one<br />
side <strong>of</strong> the tank to another. 2) The region below the coverage became stagnant; hence two<br />
wind-driven circulations were formed at the up- and down-wind portions <strong>of</strong> the coverage. 3)<br />
When the coverage was set at the center or along both sides <strong>of</strong> the tank, surface wave was<br />
developed through the clearance around the coverage so that its spectral distribution was<br />
similar to that <strong>of</strong> well-developed wave. The water flow prediction model employing CIP-CUP<br />
(CIP-Combined Unified Procedure) method and introducing air-water interaction <strong>of</strong> twophase<br />
flow model well reproduced the development <strong>of</strong> surface wave and the pattern <strong>of</strong><br />
internal circulation obtained by the hydraulic experiment.<br />
