A Review of the Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Heave Plates

Abstract:

Heave plates can increase the added mass and viscous damping of marine structures. It's a more economical way to improve the stability of the marine structures' heave movement by adding heave plates compared to other methods. Many scholars have studied on the influencing factors of theirs properties. This paper describes the findings of each factor, and the results are compared. Some experimental results have still not been explained, so it is needed to continue to study heave plates.
