Wave tanks
For the three-dimensional modelling of specific parts of a structure subject to waves from different directions.
Multidirectional wave tank
Dimensions: 30 m (22 useful) x 40 m (30 useful) x 1.5 m (h)
Wave generator comprising sixty 0.5 m independent flaps operated by hydraulic jacks
Waves generated are random and multidirectional:
- 0.7 s < Tp < 4.0 s
- max. wave height: 0.24 m
- max. water depth: 0.80 m.
Rotating platform
The rotating platform
Dimensions: 30.8 m (24 useful) x 22.0 m (10.5 useful) x 1.9m
Wave generator: 2 fixed flaps with angular displacement around a bottom axis, operated by two hydraulic jacks
Rotating plate supporting the structure to be tested, 10 m in diameter, adjusted by an electric winch
Waves generated are random:
- 0.7 s < Tp < 3.0 s
- max. wave height: 0.220 m
- max. water depth: 1.30 m.
Standard tanks (North, Central, South)
Dimensions: 32 m x 20.4 m x 1.0 m
Wave generator: movable, with a length of 8 to 16 m: flap type with horizontal stroke
Waves generated are random:
- 0.6 s <Tp< 3.0 s
- max. wave height: 0.23 m
- max. water depth: 0.5 m.
