State-of-the-art physical modelling facilities
HR Wallingford’s physical modelling facilities were enhanced in 2014 by the opening of the Fast Flow
Facility. This unique, dual channel flume delivers a world-leading capability in wave-current-sediment
modelling.
The Fast Flow Facility is one of the world’s largest marine test facilities. This dual-channel, race track
shaped flume is a unique large scale modelling facility offering wave, fast tidal current and sediment
capabilities. Understanding the complex way waves, currents and sediments interact is vital to the
successful delivery of projects in the marine environment. The Fast Flow Facility allows our scientists and
engineers to examine these interactions at a larger scale and in more detail than has previously been
possible, helping us to more effectively optimise designs for our clients and minimise the water based risks
for their projects.

Training
HR Wallingford runs an open programme of events covering topics in water and marine hydraulics,
engineering, and environmental management. Course tutors are world renowned, and have extensive
practical experience in both consultancy and research. With all these events, our overriding aim is to
share knowledge on best practice techniques, regulations as well as emerging technologies.
The fourth offshore renewable energy summer school will be held at HR Wallingford’s site between 3 and
14 August 2015. The summer school is designed to deliver an industry focused course that aims to
expand and sustain a community of high-quality staff for the UK offshore renewable energy industry.
The course can be booked as a complete two-week course, or as separate modules.
Find out more about this course, and our full training programme.
