The text provided does not specify any specific grant or eligibility criteria. If you have a particular grant in mind, please provide more details so that I can assist you with the eligibility criteria in English.

- Assessment of performance of fixed and floating maritime structures - Study of coastal structures, coastal processes, and port developments - Interaction of short-crested waves, currents, and winds with coastal and offshore structures - Capability to generate regular, irregular, and multidirectional wave conditions - Significant wave heights up to 0.5m and regular waves up to 0.75m - Simulation of local wind fields and currents - Experienced professional staff with knowledge in engineering fields related to marine environments

- The NRC's Multidirectional Wave Basin (MWB) is designed to assess the performance of fixed and floating maritime structures and marine operations in a controlled ocean environment. - The facility allows for studies on coastal structures, coastal processes, and port developments. - The MWB can generate a wide range of wave conditions including regular, irregular, and multidirectional waves with significant wave heights up to 0.5m and regular waves up to 0.75m. - The facility features a 60-segment directional wave machine, a pump for rapid draining and filling, and a system of active and passive wave absorbers to enhance simulation quality. - Local wind fields can be simulated using computer-controlled fans, and water currents can be generated in two directions for comprehensive testing scenarios. - Working with the NRC offers the advantages of customizable testing facilities and experienced research staff with expertise in complex ocean, coastal, and river environments.
