Description:
The combined Wind, Wave, and Current Tank is one of only a handful of such facilities in the world. Its design allows for use with any, or all, of the components with equal emphasis.
The Wind, Wave, and Current Tank was designed with small scale model testing for renewable energy devices in mind. However, it is also suitable for standard resistance, seakeeping and wind loading experiments.
