At IH Cantabria core activities include conducting physical model tests where we study phenomena related to the generation and propagation of waves, wave-wave interaction, wave-current and wave-structure, stability and performance of protective structures coastal breakwaters and marine structures, behavior of floating structures, operation of valves and hydraulic machines and devices testing marine energy generation.
The capacities of the facilities, the experience of team members and the use of numerical modeling software generation and advanced instrumentation allow basic research trials run behavior of fluids, structures and devices, calibration and validation of all types of numerical models, and the design testing and optimization of structures and specific models used in river and marine environment.
