  • Summary

    The last chapter is devoted to model tests. The basic principles of model testing are first presented, that is the Froude scaling law, and the issued related to the biases in Reynolds number. A review is made of experimental facilities used in ocean engineering, and of the wave generation and absorption principles. Issues related to confinement effects, such as sloshing, seiching, Benjamin-Feir instability, emission of free harmonics, etc., are extensively covered. Recommendations are made on specifications and exploitation of model tests.
