"the issue is, whoever came up with this design. the solution is to replace that person." Im dead. lmfao

Every kids dream pool for their RC boats.

"It is the combination of all these experiments performed on scale models that gives designers and shipbuilders the confidence that once the full scale ship hits the water for the first time it will hopefully perform as expected" *shows a video of an LCS being launched* I see what you did there.

"Do NOT share publicly - Indoors ocean - Cook Unity (high quality video)" That's how the title of this video is translated in Portuguese Who the hell did this XD

I work at the Utah Water Research Laboratory and we often make models of dams (such as the Oroville Dam spillway that failed in 2017, before I started working there), canals, gates, and other water structures, and we use the Froude number in our models. We definitely also have number crunching that happens that accounts for a whole host of things that happen, and being able to have the video recording is very helpful. Basically, we make models so that clients can make informed decisions. Our work can help them save a lot, by spending 5 on a new model saving 85 that would have been spent making the full scale cause the alternate design is way better than the original idea

Ending with the LCS was a great touch

This is one of the most fascinating NWYT ever!

Always brilliant explanation and lead into the next segment. When you think you already know about a subject, these videos constantly give details you didn't. The tag line applies to every release. Keep up the great work!!

We have indoor pools where it is possible to simulate winter conditions with real ice crust in Finland. So the whole building is basically a huge freezer.

Spent time at the David Taylor towing tank in Bethesda, MD and the towing tank on the Isle of Wight in the UK. Not only ship models are tested. Did the ditching model tests for aircraft, such as the V-22 Osprey Tiltrotor. Well done video, especially the explanation of the Froude number.

very informative, thank you! subbed

Awesome installation, and great video, but eh: 2:04 "instead of sound, they produce waves." Yeah, sound _is_ waves mate! 😝

this made my day far better. thank you

Decades ago, John Hoyt built a fully functional linear vwave towing tank at the Franklin Institute. I used to run the tank, but then the museum threw the whole thing out over one weekend. It was tragic. John Hoyt went and worked at Carderock. Haven't talked to him in 30 years

Title : USA largest indoor ocean Me: so that’s a large swimming pool right?

Great job with this! Thanks!

Very cool to learn about this amazing test facility. too bad its not practical to make one of these for every town and city :) swim time. But it really is cool to test the physics of wave model, great people who came up with this plan and helped to build and run this over the years, probably saved a lot of lives and a lot of money.

I am a "sea trial" captain for an international seafreight company, I'd like to say thank you for making this video! Not enough information out there on what we do.

I have been inside this facility and it is incredible

When I was younger i worked at a place that had a contract with Carderock, just off the beltway in MD, coming from VA. It’s a facility where they test subs, ships and aircraft in water.

Can we acknowledge the late Stephen Salter who invented the concept and designed the first wide wave tank with many wave-making paddles that can replicate any sea state.

How the panels transition, but remain watertight is amazing. I must know more!

Very informative. Thank you

I would like to see a video on the history of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Walker Lake, near Hawthorne Nevada. Other than it existing, not much seems to be publicly known.

This facility is awesome. You can’t swim, but you can canoe it.

I grew up near Southampton and the river Hamble. A lot of maritime proficiency examination takes place in the region including piloting great cargo ships and tankers. On a lake at Warsash (famous for its D-Day role) student pilots sit cramped into miniature model tankers and learn manoeuvring skills. Almost like kids in pedal cars. It’s now run by Solent University. I guess they use simulators now rather than analogue model boats. At the time it was called Warsash Maritime Academy.

Fascinating. Thanks!

David Taylor model basin, I have a place about 3 minutes from it.. was always interested on what it was, as they have Anti air missiles & an insane amount of security around the facility.., I’ve been driving by it since 2004, especially when it was under construction.. very interesting, it’s about 15 minutes away from DC as well.. right off the Potomac River

Very cool! excellent episode

1:32 Ah my favorite place -Masb- Mask

That was fantastic!

A lot of footage from Marin, the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands is blended in...

Incredible.

Sound is a wave, and music is what you get when waves make patterns. (Piano keys)

Self propulsion tests rarely have the model propel itself fully and are most commonly used to verify the propulsion method (propeller pitch angle and rpm for example) There are multipliers calculated to find out to what degree a given model propels itself for a given propulsor, speed and scale. The carriage then still pushes on the model. Latest test we ran the model produced about 50% of it's own propulsion.

Wow! Wind tunnel but for water! Just wow!

Fantastic video!

Wow someone's whole job is probably to make the coolest model boats of all time. Nice. 🤙

There is still a preserved hull testing in Dumbarton, Scotland. It was hired by Cunard to help design the hull of Queen Mary 2 as no other facilities where available at time. It is called the Denny tank museum.

Just like indoor dining… smooth transition

Very cool thanks for the video..

What are the Public Swimming hours, and do they put in lane markers?

Give this man those 3M followers

This video was so cool!!!!

Is it just me or the Froude Number is the root of the divider of kinetic energy in the basic potential gravitational energy to kinetic energy transition? It can be quickly formulated from Ug=Ek mgh=(1/Fr²)mv²

I’m a simple man. I see Carderock, I upvote

Check MARIN in The Netherlands!

Is it just me or do i want to swim in it really bad? 😂

Since you finally researched about the froude number you should know now why a carrier cannot go faster then 30~35kts.

This would be my dream to have when i was younger

0:58 Mr Lahey!

I want to try it…

7:37 that was confusing to use the term "footage" or "photage" when talking formula and ship sizes

In Finland is the world biggest towing tank with ice. Used for a testing ice breakers

Science teachers and students. My Admin used to give me the science equipment catalogues so I could see all the things he would never allow us to buy. They had a square 'wave tank' less than a meter on each side and about 20 cm deep. $2200. Using old plywood I made a long narrow box. Two tricks made it work. I lined it with 5 mill construction plastic - this made it water proof. (just draped it, a few spring clips.) Simple. The second trick was at one end I made a long sloped wedge, 'the beach'. This was under the plastic. Works great. The beach does a couple of things. It absorbs the waves so the tank just doesn't become a sloshing mess. To make surface waves (most common) just move the top few cms of water at the other end of tank. To make deep tsunami waves just lift the plastic up a bit, so the bottom comes up, at that end. Richard Feynman said that using water waves to model electromagnetic waves doesn't work because water waves are every bit as complex as EM Radiation. True. However, you can see water moving. So a wave tank can do a lot of what the big tank in the video can do. What's neat is the tsunami waves are little ripples until they reach the beach, then they slow down, pile up and can splash right out the other end of the flume. Surface waves are bigger, noticeably slower. They run up the beach and lose their energy. The last tank I made was about 30cm deep, 7 meters long and about 50cm wide. Students actually had crested waves breaking on the beach. Hamsters could've surfed them. The tsunamis? They moved quicker, but were small until they climbed up the beach and blasted over the side (into the school garden.) That admin there wasn't as bad as the first guy. She came out glanced at the tank and said, "Don't make too much noise." The physics teacher at that school never even looked at it. What would make a fun naval engineering project would be to figure out how each century would've redesigned their ships if they'd used a wave tank. The 14th through mid 19th century ships would all quickly look very different. The one craft that I don't think would've changed? The Aleut Iqyax (aka baidarka). If you look at the stringers on the bottom, there's a big gap between the keelson and the first stringers. This channels the water giving the iqyax lift right where the paddler sits. I built an iqyax to do attempt this, but along the way I realized to get the 10 knots Captain Cook's navigator reported, I'd have to be able to paddle at least 6 to 8 knots. I was good able to sustain 4.3 knots, but not even close.

That is pretty darn cool! And wise!

Wow,, most impressive 🇦🇺

The ocean doesnt scare me nearly as much as a giant indoor pool does

I used to beg my parents to make a huge indoor operatable pool, ive ever got on my knees just for that xD

I had some freinds who claimed to have gotten in there years ago to test kayaks. I have always wondered if it was true as they lived and kayaked in the area.

I'm just here for the cool little boats in the pool. The rest of it sounds very mathy.

Damn that's one deep pool

If I ever get filthy rich I'm building a smaller version of that. I'm going to have the best pool in the neighborhood 😂😂😂

2:10 Uhh…. Akshually, piano keys also produce waves because sounds just are waves 🤓

I'll bet that Froude really knew where his towel was.

Froude was a damn genius

Cool, interesting video!

It's a same idea with airforce's wind tunnel, right ?

I can't swim in it? Aww man, there goes my weekend plans :(

No wind simulator fan bank to go with that pool? More and more large ships are sensitive to wind loading due to their large and tall superstructures

I used to work there.... NAVSEA Carderock Springs Bethesda Maryland

$7000 coffee maker I would love to do an audit on that facility!!!

The problem is: you can make a smaller scale model of an object, but you can not shrink the water molecules accordingly. I'm not sure how accurate to the real thing the effects on the scale model are...

what about David taylor model basin.?

Do the tanks experience tides?

Nothing can replace actual hands on trial and error. I wanna play with boats in a big bathtub all day. And get paid for it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Honestly though it looks like a fun fulfilling job.

I new he was Canadian I had the gut feeling

I guarantee that someone has surfed inside that facility.😂

When we were kids we would stomp puddles to check the seaworthiness 😂😂😂

This is actually so fucking cool

Instead of sound waves the new wave generators produce water waves?

0:23 LOL that's not a boat design, no need to fire the designer. That's most likely a sensor that tests resonance frequency in the pitch direction of a generic planing hull.

Isn't this place in Vicksburg Mississippi

The tanks is superior to computer modeling because with only minor alteration for the scale of the model to the water you can model far more particles IRL than any computer can handle. If you think on it, a scale models fluid dynamics are always going to be different than full scale because you cannot scale the water or air (whichever is applicable to the model) in other words a model airplane that is 1/8th scale still flies through full scale air so adjustments have to made to account for this, which is why a 1/8th scale P-51 does not fly like a full scale P-51 unless you play around with its mass and airfoil to account for the difference in air density. The same happens with the model ships in water (air and water are both fluids for this purpose) where they can account for the different density with tweaks to the results in the testing. The problem in computer modeling vs scale model testing is the scale model still uses a water molecule as the particle size to measure the fluid movement while a computer model particle size is going to be many magnitudes larger to have manageable calculation time scales. The particle size of the water is what makes the computer model less accurate. Once a computer can model each and every water molecule it will be as good as a scale test, or even better if it can model enough molecules to model the full size vessel without scaling the result. Today even modeling the flow around a propeller like you would put on an outboard motor only gives you an idea of how it will perform IRL, and always leads to someone actually building and testing a prototype before it would go into full production.

2:05 I mean… pianos make wave too…

2:16 - Except a sound wave! Which is probably why at 2:08, don't know piano keys do create waves! Sound waves!

Places like this is why I learned how to swim 💀

I drive past this place every day.

Ask any good swimmer, they will tell you the daily feel of the pool can vary slightly.

This is exactly what I thought, as I used to live right next to it.

also imagine getting caught in one of those

Whenever I see those monster ocean waves I realize just how much | love being on land. That would scare the ever loving sh!T out of me

nightmare scenario a Supercarrier gets struck by a rogue wave what would happen

I really like to think that there is a single bathtub drain in that pool

Can any Boat Crafting Engineer use this facility

What is the formula for reducing mass on the model then? Say you had a 1:50 model, if you reduced it's weight down there must be a formula because you can't reduce down the density of water or the gravity.

6:36 “The movement of these models in the water and their interactions with the waves *don’t look realistic at all.”* *Ironic….*

Is this the David Taylor model basin

wow now that is not what you think
