We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Prof Stephen Salter. FloWave would not exist without his pioneering work, and we will miss him. His legacy will not just be in the technologies he developed, but also in a generation (or more!) of skilled engineers he trained.

This Saturday (23 September) we'll be running demonstrations of the test tank from 11am to 2pm as part of @ColSciEng #DoorsOpenDay. Drop by to see how we replicate sea states from offshore renewable energy sites from around the world (plus some wave "party tricks"!).
Want to go behind the scenes @ColSciEng? Join us for #DoorsOpenDay on Saturday 23 September 2023!. 🌊 See our @FloWaveOcean facility's wave tank in action. 💡 Meet students working on #rocketry, #hyperloop, #robotics, #sustainable engineering & more.

This collaborative work under the @MaRINET2_EU programme was a great experience, furthering tank testing knowledge for #WaveEnergy and expanding the international network of our reseachers.

You may have seen the "FloWave Spike" before, but did you know that the science behind it is contributing to knowledge on wave breaking in the ocean? Through studying these crossing seas we aim to understand implications for maritime safety. #WorldOceansDay.
🌊 | New spike wave video. Researchers studying wave breaking have found that axisymmetric ‘spike waves’ can far exceed limits that were previously thought to dictate the maximum height of ocean waves. More info ➡️ #WorldOceansDay

How well do experimental assessments of wave energy converters at different test tanks compare? We were able to explore this through a unique 'round robin' programme under the @MaRINET2_EU project with our international partners @PlymUni @MaREIcentre @CentraleNantes @IHCantabria.
