The Circulating Water Channel
See naval architects craft new designs for maximum bulk capacity in modern shipping.
At one of the world's most advanced laboratories for naval architects, water can be made to flow uniformly and with a level surface past experimental designs for a ship's hull. These experiments assist in the design of new and better ships, and in helping to understand the effect of flowing water on many other kinds of marine structure.
In the circulating water channel water is made to flow uniformly and with a leve
l surface past a model hull at predetermined speeds. Water pressures and velocit
ies can be measured at different
points on the surface of the hull. These excperiments assist in the design of ne
w and better shis, and in helping to understnad be effect of flowing water on ma
ny other kinds of marine structure.
