FloWave Tank Schematics

Schematic of FloWave in plan and oblique section showing:

(A) wavemaker paddles around circumference (168 Nr),

(B) turning vanes and flow conditioning filters,

(C) current drive impeller units (28 Nr),

(D) buoyant raiseable floor (15 mØ) below test area,

(E) idealised streamlines of flow across tank floor.

Additional versions of this figure omit the current streamlines, and show the oblique section only.

Final diagram is a plan view of the facility including reference co-ordinates, and traversing gantry.
