  1. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation At Oregon State At the NEES@ Oregon State University large wave flume, we research tsunamis and their impacts on the coastal infrastructure. Figure 1. Map showing all 14 large scale NEES facilities • 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. Figure 2. Large Wave Flume at Oregon State We use large scale models to understand the forces of large waves so we can Figure 3. Testing hurricane waves over sand dunes to understand erosion help protect people who live near the ocean.
