3D Wave-Current Basin Marienwerder (WSBM)

max. regular wave hieght: 0.47 m (at 1.5 - 4.0 s wave period)
max. sign. wave height: 0.25 (at1.5 - 3.5 s wave period)
length: 15 m
width: 28.8 m
depth: 1 m
sand pit: 7x9 m, additional 1.2 m deep
regular, irregular and short crested waves
active reflection compensation
currents: 5 m³/s (~50 cm/s at 60 cm water depth)

The 3D wave maker (72 individual wave blades) enables many questions relating to basic research to be answered and practical technical problems to be investigated, such as the stability of breakwater heads, research into structure-wave interaction with multidirectional sea states, spatial scour phenomena and similar issues. All processes can be studied in combination with a current.
