Flume test

 

General characteristics: (See image of the flume).

 

*    Beater: standard float oscillating duck

 

*    Generated swells :

·        Random and regular

·        Period simulated: [0,8 – 2,2 S]

 

*    Generation of current:

·        Circulation with speed of 1 knot(without convergent)

·        Simultaneous generation of swell and possible current

*    Current:

 

*     Parabolic damping area:

 

*    Mobile floor
