This laboratory consists of a water basin 68m long, 2.6m wide and 2m
deep. Physical models are tested in the basin in simulated wave
environment of the proper scales. The facility has both a low-speed
and
high-speed tow carriages, a computer-controlled wavemaker, and a
hydraulic oscillator. Instrumentation capabilities include some
of the latest
techniques, such as systems for laser fluorescence imagery,
digital-particle image velocimetry.
