Compute the added mass on a plate


Q: How does MOSES compute the added mass on a plate?
REV 7.02

A: The added mass for plates and #PLATES is computed as defined in DNV Classification Notes 30.5; i.e. the added mass depends on the aspect ratio of the submerged portion of the plate. For #AREAs, it is computed as outlined in the DNV notes except that the coefficient is the one for an aspect ratio of 1.
