    Description

    The Large Wave Current Flume (GWK+), which is jointly operated by Leibniz University Hannover and TU Braunschweig, is one of the largest freely accessible wave flumes in the world. Following its expansion and renovation, the facility’s new deep-water area, a higher-performance wave machine and a new tidal current system are enabling comprehensive research on coastal protection and the anchoring of offshore turbines.
