Facts

Geometry

  • length: 80.0 m
  • width: 4.0 m
  • height: 1.2 m

wave generation

  • max. Wave height: 0,2 m
  • max. Wave period: 15,0 s

Experimental studies are carried out in the long wave generator in which the wave period of long waves must be approximated. The waves are generated by a controlled inflow and outflow of water at the front of the channel using four external reservoirs and flow-controlled rotary lobe pumps. Examples of possible fields of research can be found in tsunami engineering or in the investigation of meteotsunamis and remote waves.
