I don't think so. This is specific to that flume and I wouldn't think there would be too many if any wave generators on the market as its kind of a unique item.
Thanks Berkeman!
The flume is quite long, roughly 10m and we will be building an inclined plane on the far end to dampen out the waves so there is no return reflection.
We could pre-weight the wedge although I was going to assume no weight (essentially buoyant) and just seek the total amount...
I have been tasked with building a wave generator in a flume. I need to find out how much force will be required to drive a wedge into a body of water so that we can get the right sized motor. For simplicity sake this wedge is 200mm tall, with a 45deg angle and 600mm wide. It is entering the...
