Large-scale Ocean Research

The CFLOR will address the large-scale studies that are required to be incorporated in the design, testing and fundamental understanding of the complex ocean engineering problems. The novelty of the proposal lies in the development of a unique large-scale facility, one of the world’s largest testing facility that will be developed with the following features:

1. Wave flume of length 500m, 8m deep and 5m wide, having a deep pit of 10m for testing large offshore structures,
2. Current generation facility upto 1m/s,
3. Towing carriage with speed of 10m/s,
4. Wavemaker that could generate a significant wave height of 3m with its period ranging from 10s to 30s.
