  1. Upgrading Oregon State's Multidirectional Wave Basin for Remote Tsunami Research S.C. Yim, C.M. Pancake, and C.K. Sollitt Project Overview Goals: Develop 3-D directional wave basin facility for tsunami/coastal community to enhance research and enable remote experimentation • Basin Extension: BeforeLength: 87 ft; Width: 60 ft; Depth: 5 ft • AfterLength: 160 ft; Width: 87 ft; Depth: 7 ft • Wave Generator: BeforeStroke:3 ft; Velocity: 1.6 ft/s; Wave Height: 0.7 ft • AfterStroke:6 ft; Velocity: 6.1 ft/s; Wave Height: 2.6 ft • Host open codes and discussion forum on analytical and numerical models • Host database of existing tsunami experiments • Provide forum for calibration of numerical codes with experimental results

  2. Wave basin and building extension (4/2/2001-12/11/2002), performance site survey, contracted architect, completed schematic design, design specification development in progress Tsunami Wave generator acquisition (5/14/2001-2/19/2003), selected vendor (MTS), obtained State approval, awaiting NSF subaward approval Data acquisition system (8/1/2001-9/30/2004), on schedule Data management system (4/2/2001-9/30/2004), installed database server and initial middleware, developing tool-kit support middleware Remote access software design (6/18/2001-9/30/2004), on schedule High-performance network connection (4/2/2001-9/30/2004), extended Gigabit Ethernet to and install high-speed switch at Wave Research Lab, identified initial on-campus collaborators for testing Configuration testing (5/26/2003-9/24/2004), on schedule NEES Collaboratory operation (10/1/2001-9/30/2004), initiated interaction with NEES Consortium Developer Status and Schedule of Tsunami Basin Project

  4. Most Critical Information/Answers for SI and CD • Oregon State’s Tsunami Wave Basin has strong support from Tsunami/ Coastal research community • In addition to the 3-D Tsunami Basin, Oregon State Wave Research Lab’s 345 ft x 15 ft x 12 ft, 2-D Long Channel is also vital to Tsunami research and should be included as part of NEES Equipment per Tsunami Basin/Research Community Workshop (April 2001) discussion • Usability Engineering will enhance telepresence to make it possible for researchers to remotely communicate experiment controls, enhance human observation, share experiences, and re-use experiments. • Experiment replay will allow marking of interesting events, zooming forward in fast/slow-motion, and downloading of sequences of data. • Usability Engineering will be achieve through working with key users to identify needs and preferences.

  5. Most Critical Questions for SI and CD • Metadata: What is not automatically generated during experiments, must be defined by the PI. ES/SI/CD community must set standards. Who and what? • Data Formats: Standards must be set for raw data, first-order filtered data, and published data. Decisions will need to be made regarding low-resolution and high-resolution data. Who and what? • Required Hardware and Software: What are they and who would provide the purchasing, development, installation and maintenance costs? • Composition of Consortium: What would the composition of the Consortium be by 1 OCT 2004? How would CD ensure equitable representation? • Maintenance and Operation Funding: How would the Consortium decide on yearly funding at each equipment site? A minimum level to maintain physical equipment and network and technical support is needed at each site to ensure equipment are always in operational condition over the 2004-2014 period? • Experiment Fee Schedule: What are the means of determining fee structure for equipment users? Would the fees be different for NSF and other government agencies vs. academic and commercial users?
