Multipurpose experiment tank

Outline

1. The tank

This tank is provided with ferro-concrete walls, one side of which has five one-meter square viewing windows for observing underwater motions of the experimental model.

• Dimensions

  40m (length) × 4m (width) × 2m (depth)

2. Gauge trolley

The gauge trolley slides over the tank. A variety of models can be attached to the trolley. Running the trolley at different speeds allows monitoring and analysis of characteristics such as water resistance to various motions.

Usage

1. Tests of flow and wave effects on various marine structure models
2. Tests of the kinematic characteristics of mobile underwater objects
