Use this fee-for-service 50 m × 30 m lab to conduct large, three-dimensional physical model studies of hydrodynamics for marinas, ports, harbours, moored ships, waterfront developments and more.
grant_single_labels|projects
The NRC Large Area Basin grant is designed to support projects that explore the dynamics of hydro-engineering and coastal processes. Eligible activities focus on conducting large-scale, physical model studies pertinent to water-based infrastructure and environmental interactions.
- Conducting hydrodynamic studies in marinas, ports, and harbours.
- Investigating moored ship behaviour in response to environmental factors such as waves, currents, and winds.
- Analyzing coastal processes and near-shore water circulation.
- Examining sediment transport and beach response using advanced modelling techniques.
- Studying open channel flows in various bodies of water including estuaries and rivers.
- Exploring wave interactions with coastal and maritime structures.
- Researching methods for scour and erosion mitigation.
