Applications
- Stability tests of coast/harbor/ocean structures
- Wave tests: waves, harbor tranquility, wave run-up, overtopping, structural stability, wave-induced currents and etc.
- Sediment transport tests for beach morphological changes
- Renewable ocean energy development including tidal current and wave energy conversion system
- Tests of pollutant diffusion and tsunami
Examples of major tests
- Stability tests : development of the new type breakwater, stability test of harbor and coastal structures
- Wave tests : measuring waves, harbor tranquility , wave heights, overtopping, wave-induced currents
- Sediment transport tests : tests related to beach morphological changes, and countermeasure for beach erosion
- Tidal current tests : tests related to tidal current, and thermal effluent diffusion
