M3 works on 1:20 scale design and welcomes new team member

Since preparations for 1:20 scale testing are a long lead time item, we have commenced preparations for a Finalist “field campaign” as we await the selection process results.

This month the team began developing the framework for designing, transporting, and deploying a 1:20 scale NEXUS.

For pre-testing, we are undertaking a lengthy project to double the operational depth of our company wave tank to improve testing fidelity of deep water systems like NEXUS at 1:50 scale. Additionally, we secured a tentative Spring slot at a suitable 1:20 test facility for shakedown runs.

M3 Wave is pleased to welcome a new Senior Scientist, Alice G., to the team. Alice will help with hydrodynamics and sediment modeling around submerged structures (like NEXUS anchor systems). Welcome Alice!
