Wavemaker<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\"intermediate<\/p>\n

A DHI paddle wavemaker equipped with an active wave absorption control system is installed in the wave basin. The paddle is 7m long and 1m high. The system includes software to synthesize input waves (monochromatic, spectral, time series).<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Wave gauges<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\"intermediate<\/p>\n

DHI wave gauges are available for the measurement of the free-surface elevation in the wave basin.<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Current meters<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\"Man<\/p>\n

ADP (Acoustic Doppler Profiler), ARGONAUT-XR type current meters from SONTEK are available for the measurement of sea current speed distribution, and RCM7 current meters from AANDERAA are available for the measurement of the local speed of sea currents.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
