Additional information
- The NRC's Multidirectional Wave Basin (MWB) is designed to assess the performance of fixed and floating maritime structures and marine operations in a controlled ocean environment. - The facility allows for studies on coastal structures, coastal processes, and port developments. - The MWB can generate a wide range of wave conditions including regular, irregular, and multidirectional waves with significant wave heights up to 0.5m and regular waves up to 0.75m. - The facility features a 60-segment directional wave machine, a pump for rapid draining and filling, and a system of active and passive wave absorbers to enhance simulation quality. - Local wind fields can be simulated using computer-controlled fans, and water currents can be generated in two directions for comprehensive testing scenarios. - Working with the NRC offers the advantages of customizable testing facilities and experienced research staff with expertise in complex ocean, coastal, and river environments.
