Wave-Current Flume Three
Name of the Facility: DICEA-UNIFI Wave-Current Flume Three (WCF3)
Operator: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICEA), University of Florence
Installation Features
Wave-Current Flume Three (WCF3) of LABIMA has been fully designed by LABIMA Team.
The wave flume has the following characteristics:
- 20 m long, 0.4 m wide, 0.4 m deep.
- Generation of wave motion by a piston-type wave maker, fully designed by LABIMA TEAM.
