Model Basin
The Model Basin was inaugurated in 1967 with dimensions of 56 meters in length, 3,8 m. wide and 2,2 m. of depth, then its length was increased to 100 m. It was projected by Luis de Mazarredo in order that students of Naval Architecture would be put in contact with the methods of experimentation in hydrodynamics. In addition to academic labour it is also used for the optimization of ship hull design and forward resistance assessment and for Marine Renewable Energy studies.
