ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for creating surface waves in a body of liquid is disclosed which comprises a liquid displacer, a motor and a linear actuator for imparting movement to the displacer, and a level sensing device cooperating with the liquid displacer to control liquid level through control of wave generation.
The present apparatus is able to adjust liquid activity to accommodate extraneous wave patterns, and to thereby more accurately control the exact wave patterns generated. The present apparatus is useful for performing wave testing to simulate aquatic conditions for ships, oil rigs and harbor installations.
