HM 160.41

Wave Generator Flap-Type

Technical Description

The HM 160.41 Wave Generator is used to generate waves in the HM 160 Multi-Purpose Teaching Flume. The unit consists of a powerful geared motor unit that operates a displacement flap via a crank disc and a continuously adjustable drive rod. The flap is fixed to the base of the flume by means of a rubber mounting and swings back and forward. The frequency of the resulting waves can be adjusted by changing the motor speed; the amplitude of the waves can be adjusted by changing the stroke. The motor gearbox unit is fitted to a base plate that is placed in the discharge area of the flume and fixed in place using bolts. It is possible to perform experiments on waves both with and without flow.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

· Investigations on waves
- Amplitude
- Frequency
- Forces
- Velocity
- Different wave shapes
- Wave reflections
· Absorption of wave forces
· Behaviour of structures in rough sea

For some experiments, additional accessories from G.U.N.T. are required.
