Abstract

In this study, we focus on the submerged plate built into the Very Large Floating Structure with the partial openings of 5m long, which enables the reverse flow of incident wave to generate the wave breaking. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of wave exciting forces acting on the submerged plate and the fore part ofVLFS. Firstly, we have carried out the extensive experiments to understand the characteristics of the wave exciting forces. Then we have performed the numerical simulations by applying the Marker and Cell method (MAC method) and compared with the experimental results. We discuss the validity ofMAC method and the effects of the submerged plate on the motion of VLFS. As a result, we get the conclusion that the submerged plate is useful for reducing the wave exciting forces acting on the structure behind the submerged plate.
