Validity of the model was verified through the identical twin experiment in deep sea conditions. Also, the behavior of the deduced parameter was examined through several experiments. As a result, it was confirmed that the drag coefficient deduced by the model is accurate enough when the number of the given observation data is sufficient compared with the number of the unknown parameter. It was also confirmed that the accuracy of the deduced coefficient can be improved by adding an a priori condition even if the number of the observation data is insufficient.}, number={32}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Yokota, Masaki and Hashimoto, Noriaki and Kawaguchi, Koji and Kawai, Hiroyasu}, year={2011}, month={Feb.}, pages={waves.32} }
