As part of an exchange programme for the Naval and Ocean Engineering course at the Instituto Superior Técnico, a group of Naval and Ocean Engineering students from Harbin Engineering University (HEU) in China visited LNEC's Maritime Hydraulics Pavilion (PHM), where 2D and 3D physical model tests are carried out for coastal and port areas. The study of waves and their interaction with maritime structures are studied during those tests.
During the visit, the class had the opportunity to see some of the physical models of maritime works built in the tanks and channels of the PHM and to learn about the main aspects related to choosing the scale, building and operating the models.
