Laboratory tests: Physical testing at the St Venant Hydraulic Laboratory: behaviour of the sandy beach profile in a wave basin

A large number of reference points (23) are positioned in the wave-tank and the global Cartesian co-ordinates of said points are determined.

The present invention relates to a sheet wave generator with a riding surface appended to a single container of water (21), i.e., a swimming pool, wave pool, or any existing or new water facility.

The multidirectional wave basin of LHF, inaugurated in 1991, is widely used for the testing of coastal engineering equipment, as well as for fundamental studies of near-shore physics.

The tests at the central LHEEA Nantes waves tank tests have shown that the concept is capable of absorbing much of the waves forward energy and converting it into pneumatic power.

Tests conducted in 2017 in the École Centrale de Nantes wave basin complemented by studies in 2018 demonstrated the technical and economic relevance of the concept developed by SEATURNS.
