The horizontal plate has usually been used for coastal and ocean structures, such as an upper slab of pier and a buffer structure around a bridge pier. And there have been also a lot of research on the use of horizontal plate for submerged breakwater against beach erosion and artificial sea bed for the fish-raising industry. Much effort has so far been devoted to the research of wave fields around a horizontal plate, especially about the impact force to pier and the wave deformation around submerged horizontal plate in terms of the design for the structure. However, the flow pattern around horizontal plate in a wave field has not been explicated. The current study has attempted to numerically analyze some of the wave fields around a horizontal plate. Based on the results of this study, this paper discusses the characteristics of the evolution process of fluid motion and eddy motion around a horizontal plate.
