Abstract
Hydrodynamic model testing, the principle of bringing the ocean
into the laboratory to study the behaviour of the ocean itself and
the response of man-made structures in the ocean in reduced scale,
has been known for centuries. Due to an insufficient understanding
of the physics involved, however, the early model tests often gave
incomplete or directly misleading results.This keynote lecture
deals with some of the possibilities and problems within the field
of hydrodynamic and hydraulic model testing.
