The FloWave TT ocean energy research facility is designed to test physical scale models of marine renewable energy devices, in a combined wave and current environment. The facility is located at The University of Edinburgh, King's Buildings campus. It comprises a 25m diameter circular tank, with 168 active-absorbing wave makers around the circumference, and 28 pumps arranged beneath the raisable floor. These allow the creation of multi-directional random waves with current in any direction across the 15m diameter 2m deep test area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.flowavett.co.uk/the-facility )〕 The facility is optimised for approximately 1/10th to 1/40th scale model tests, with scale waves approximately 14m high and current of 7 knots. Construction of the facility started late in 2010, and was completed in autumn 2013. The opening was on Thursday 5 June 2014, with the Energy Minister Amber Rudd officially opening the facility on 6 August 2014 FloWave TT is a wholly owned subsidiary of the university, and the £10M construction cost of the facility was primarily funded by EPSRC. == Key clients == A number of developers have publicised that they have completed testing of their devices at FloWave, including: * Albatern - WaveNET〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiHcgCwAw84&list=UUawE94PSQCu4WEUO-Ya2Eig )〕 * QED Naval - SubHub〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.qednaval.co.uk/?page_id=204 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FloWaveTT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
