Research Facilities

The School of Ocean Technology develops and delivers education and training and applied research and development programs in various aspects of ocean technology. To do so, the School works collaboratively with the world-class expertise and facilities found throughout the Marine Institute.

Acoustics Tank

The facility includes a rectangular concrete water tank 4.0 metres deep, 4.0 metres wide, and 5.5 metres long containing 88,000 litres of water. The tank is used for transducer development, materials and flow noise studies, in addition to structural acoustics.

Flume Tank
