The Outdoor Paved Ground for Model Test

The outdoor paved ground, 140m long and 90m wide is used for large scale and vast area comprehensive hydraulic model tests. Two underground reservoirs, having a total volume capcity of 1200 m3, are available for water circulating system. A multipurpose wave basin is used for off-shore and coastal engineering research.
 
  
  
The multi-purpose wave model basin, 
50m long, 25.5m wide and 1.1m deep 
is provided for the investigation of wave 
energy utilization, wave propagation due 
to dam breach as well as wave protection 
due to land slide in reservoir.
