Research in the wave pool
In two wave basins with very different focuses, a wide range of scientific and engineering issues relating to the spatial propagation and interaction of waves with structures, buildings, the seabed, plants and more can be investigated.
The 3D wave machine (72 individual wave blades) makes it possible to answer many questions from basic research as well as to investigate practical engineering problems such as breakwater head stability, research into structural interaction with multidirectional swell, spatial scour phenomena, etc. (max. wave height: 0.32 m, length: 20 m, width: 40 m, depth: 1 m, deep section: 7×9 m, depth: 2 m).(max. wave height: 0.32 m, length: 20 m, width: 40 m, depth: 1 m, deep section: 7×9 m, 1.2 m deep, regular, irregular, directional waves, active wave absorption, current: 5 m³/s).
