Abstract
A 58.27 × 4.57 × 3.04 m wave flume has been constructed and calibrated. The maximum wave height that can be generated in regular waves is 0.7 m at a water depth of 1.8 m. Random wave spectra have also been modelled in the flume for prototype wind speeds up to 25 m/s. The maximum significant wave height that can be generated at a 1 m water depth is 20 cm.A series of tests performed to verify design curves presented by Gilbert, Thompson, and Brewer show good agreement with the predicted values. The Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum was modelled between wind speeds of 5 and 25 m/s at suitable scale factors ranging from 1:50 to 1:150. All analysis was carried out in real time by means of an on-line computer.
