Heave plates exert a unique influence on the motions of marine structures floating in seas or
oceans. Due to their low thickness and sharp edges, the hydrodynamic performance of …

With Over 60 tables, most with graphic illustration, and over 1000 formulas, Formulas for
Dynamics, Acoustics, and Vibration will provide an invaluable time-saving source of concise …

Heave plates have been widely utilized in floating offshore structures as they can provide
additional dam** and added mass to improve the hydrodynamic response of the system …

Forced harmonic heave motions of horizontally submerged and perforated rectangular
plates are studied experimentally and numerically at both a deep and shallow …

Fluid–structure interaction processes of heave dam** plates in forced vertical motion are
investigated using a CFD numerical model. First, a single isolated disk is considered with …

The nonlinear viscous flow problem associated with a heaving vertical cylinder with two
heave plates in the form of two circular disks attached is solved using a finite difference …

Infinite and periodic arrays of porous disks are considered, in oscillatory flow perpendicular
to their planes. This configuration is of interest for the offshore oil industry, for instance to be …

Wave energy converters (WECs) often employ submerged heave plates to provide reaction
forces at depths below the level of wave motion. Here, two sets of heave plate experiments …

In this study, a wave flume experiment was performed with a scaled floating model to
optimise the design of a floating body and control unwanted motions due to the offshore …

This article presents an experimental investigation on the hydrodynamic coefficients of
oscillating flat plates. The plates are forced to oscillate harmonically in still water. The range …
