Abstract

This paper describes the preliminary work carried out within the Civil and Electronics and Electrical Engineering Departments of The University of Glasgow. Two experimental pieces of equipment are described; the first is a piston-type of device suitable for testing small turbines in an oscillating water column system. The second is the conversion of a water flume into a wave tank for use in tests of small wave generator models and wave prediction systems.
