Criteria for a Laboratory Research Facility to Study Wind Effects in Coastal Engineering Problems.

Abstract

The report discusses experimental design criteria that influences the selection of specifications for a coastal engineering research laboratory suitable for investigations involving wind effects. A brief summary is given of deep water, shallow water, and beach experiments that may be conducted in the facility. General considerations in the design of water channels and wind tunnels are also presented. Preliminary design ideas are illustrated.
