The Large Wave Flume is the largest of its kind in North
America. Because of its size and ability to operate in high Reynolds
regimes, the flume is ideally suited for
-
Cross-shore sediment suspension and transport
-
Wave forces on offshore and coastal structures
-
Nearshore hydrodynamics, wave breaking, swash dynamics,
and undertow
Projects involving steady flow can be considered using
the tow carriages.

Tow Carriage
Velocities
- Large carriage: 0 - 3.0 m/s (10 ft/s)
- Small carriage: 0 - 0.5 m/s (1.5 ft/s)
Performance Curve
The large wave flume is capable of generating 1.6 m (5.2 ft) at 3.5 sec
in 3.5 m (11.5 ft) water depth. |
