HM 161.41

Wave Generator Flap-Type

Technical Description

The HM 161.41 Wave Generator consists of a powerful geared motor unit that operates an HM 161.74 Paddle and Blocking Plate via a crank disc and a continuously adjustable drive rod. The HM 161.74 swings back and forth and is necessary for the generation of waves. The waves can be changed in frequency and amplitude. The motor gearbox unit is placed on the discharge area of the channel. The illustration shows a similar model.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

· Investigations on waves: amplitude, frequency, forces, speed
· Different wave shapes, wave reflection, absorption of wave forces
· Behaviour of structures in rough sea
For some experiments, additional accessories from G.U.N.T. are required.
