Armstrong Marine Hydrolab

Modern testing facility with a long history since 1951.

  • The Towing Tank to conduct ship and offshore model tests.

  • The Wind, Wave and Current tank (WWC tank) to evaluate the performance of marine systems in ocean environmental loads.

  • The Flow Cell to test marine surface hydrodynamics in full-scale wall shear stress, coatings and rough surfaces.

Experimental Marine Hydrodynamics

Focused on the study of fluid dynamics as it pertains to marine environments, primarily through physical experiments and scale-model testing rather than purely theoretical or numerical approaches.

 

Computational Marine Hydrodynamics

Application of numerical methods and algorithms to simulate fluid flows around marine structures and vessels. It complements experimental hydrodynamics and is often a cost-effective, flexible tool for design, optimization, and analysis.
