In this paper the in-house developed CFD tool ReFRESCO using an unstructured gridding approach and implicit free-surface reconstruction will be validated in the field of wave impacts. As test case, a steep regular wave hitting a semi submersible is considered, resulting in flow phenomena like wave run-up, horizontal wave impacts and deck impacts.
