TESTS FACILITY FOR THE VALUATION OF COASTAL STRUCTURES
Objectives :
The OCEANIDE coastal test tank is a shallow water basin mainly dedicated to the performance of tests on coastal maritime structures. These tests are used to test the maritime structures stability facing given environmental conditions and to assess their behavior in terms of overtopping, reflection, transmission or environmental impact in order to improve the design.
Characteristics :
- Dimensions :
| Length : |
27 m |
| Width : |
12m |
| Depth : |
0 to 1 m |
- Waves :
| Types : regular or irregular (PM, Jonswap |
…) |
| Max height (crest to trough) : |
0.5 m |
| Period : |
from 0.6 s to 3 s |
- Floor :
| Type : Mobile floor representing the bathymetry of the site |
Advantages :
- Compact shape of the basin allowing to carry out tests accurately, quickly and with flexibility.
- Computer equipment and modern measurement tools.
- Specialized knowledge in experimental hydrodynamics supplemented by university researchers competences.
Applications :
- Coastal engineering
- Scouring protection study
