Just a quick series of videos demonstrating the initial use of the waves in the new hydromechanics basin at Southampton.
a) a large regular wave
b) oblique waves
c) an on-board view
d) moored frigate model in severe seas
Many thanks to Dr’s Bennett and Downes for running these tests  and to Dr Bennett in putting these videos together,  along with the rest of the Ship Science team in hosting the Open Day visits on the 3rd and 4th July. The next University open days at which the tank will be available for a visit is on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September. Please remember to register via the University open day website. For those with an interest in general engineering, aeronautical or mechanical engineering you can also sign up to visit the ship science activities.
