Abstract
Background: With the increasing arithmetic power of computers, computer-based numerical simulation provides a more advantageous method for building wave tanks.
Objective: By introducing the principles of numerical wave tanks and analyzing the latest progress in numerical wave tank research, we consider the future direction of numerical wave tanks and propose the feasibility of future development for the readers' reference.
Methods: This paper systematically describes the history of the development of numerical wave tanks. It summarizes the current development and research status of numerical wave tanks by analyzing the current literature and patents on their study to pave the way for the subsequent discussion and outlook on critical technologies.
Results: Through the research and analysis of numerical wave tanks, the current research status of critical technologies of numerical wave tanks is summarized to derive the key technologies applied to establish numerical wave tanks, discuss each key technology, and look forward to the direction of future development of numerical tanks.
Conclusion: Finally, based on analyzing and comparing the current situation and critical technologies of numerical tanks, the future development trend of numerical wave tanks is predicted, and it is believed that numerical wave tanks will also have more efficient performance with the development of computer arithmetic power.
