Caen ESITC has opened a new marine test facility equipped with a 40 meter long Edinburgh Designs built flume tank.
The tank is 1m wide and 1.5m meters deep and features a 750mm piston wave generator.
Designed to accommodate physical modelling tests, the test tank is suitable for marine research and development work, coastal work studies, and port engineering research.
The project was funded by ESITC, the Normandy region, and public institutions CEREMA, DGPR and DGITM.
