Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation
At Oregon StateAt the NEES@ Oregon State University large wave flume, we research tsunamis and their impacts on the coastal infrastructure.
The Large Wave Flume is: • 342 feet long• 15 feet deep• 12 feet wide and• has a maximum
wave height of over 5 feet!
It can create: • Tsunamis• Hurricanes• Large wind waves
The piston-style wave maker is similar to the mini-flume wave maker.

We use large scale models to understand the forces of large waves so we can help protect people who live near the ocean.
