The fluids and hydraulics laboratory is dedicated to fluid related teaching and research activities. Its tow tank provides a unique capability to study the hydrodynamic effects of vessels, moorings, wharves, vortex induced vibrations and other related marine structures and interactions. It is also home to a fast rescue craft simulator that simulates harsh ocean environments in a controlled setting, an open-channel flume tank, a deep tank for pressure testing, an erosion table, and a multi-phase flow loop.
