WIND / WAVE / CURRENT
Marine test systems
Key conditions for system selection, layout and verification.
01 / WIND
Wind generation
Alongside the velocity range, assess effective field coverage, available space and control requirements before selecting the fan arrangement.
- Test field
- Velocity range, uniformity, turbulence and effective coverage
- Geometry
- Model distance, installation height and maintenance access
- Interfaces
- Fan drives, controls and integration with basin equipment
02 / WAVE
Wave generation
The target waves, basin dimensions and model position inform the mechanism; stroke, effective width and reflections should be assessed with measurements.
- Wave conditions
- Height, period, direction, and regular or irregular waves
- Mechanisms
- Paddle type, stroke, drive and effective width
- Verification
- Wave measurement, repeatability and reflection assessment
03 / CURRENT
Current generation
Define test-section velocity and depth, then assess flow uniformity and stability alongside the circulation path, conditioning and measurement locations.
- Test section
- Velocity range, depth, effective area and blockage
- Circulation
- Drive, inlet conditioning, return path and head loss
- Calibration
- Measurement locations, uniformity and operating stability
INTEGRATION
Combined conditions
Define wind, wave and current directions, operating sequences and measurement needs relative to the model.
