Rogue Wave created by Wave Generator

With 310 meters of usable length and a width of 5 meters the Large Wave Flume (GWK) in Hanover, Germany is currently the largest wave tank in the world. The wave paddle of the hydraulic wave machine (900 kW) is 7 m tall and includes a ±10 degree rotatable flap. The overall stroke of the wave generator is 4,2 m. By generating small and slow waves followed by faster and bigger waves, rogue waves (or "freak waves") can be produced. The wave tank is used to simulate the impact on structures or ships.

To simulate the sea conditions even more realistic in the future, the Large Wave Flume will get an additional water current system and a new improved wave genarator in the following years.

For those that dont understand:

It creates a couple of waves, each faster than the last one. They all catch up at the same time, right in front of the wall. So they add to eachother and create a giant wave.

3:20 This is the best visualisation and reproduction of a rogue wave I have seen yet, you can literally see how the waves in front are pulled together into one huge wave.. it's like each wave slows the one in front and absorbs its force until they are all stacked as one. Watch a few times and see how slowly the first waves are moving, they are literally slowed to a crawl and almost stop entirely before being absorbed into the next wave - which also slows until the final wave. Great work - hopefully studying it leads to advances that help save lives.

Nobody :

Me in the tub when going back and forward :

The standing waves at 1:30 is certainly a sight to see. It's just so cool visualizing the standing waves

[ItsEphora]

Did I just watch a 10 min. video of water going "woosh"?
Yes.
Yes I did.

POV:You're watching this at 3 am because you're bored and can't sleep and you have nothing else to watch.

0:42 credit to that girl for knowing when to GTFO

I want to sit on a floatie in there. I don't care if I die, I'll die happy.

There's something that freaks me out about large powerful machinery like that.

[flexor]

Something every kid from the start of time figured out how to do in the bathtub

[hamzakayani]

This looks like 2090's where people live underground and have never see a wave

[entrippyZ]

The youtube algorithm has been on some hydrodynamic shit lately...

[jayceecole]

When water is the most powerful element. Edit: thanks for the likes guys this is the most likes I ever gotten on a commit before.

[iamroot]

This is how to get kids interested in science by letting these kind of places have open days - in fact I'd have love to have seen it in real life and my school days are way behind me!

Let's wait for daily dose of internet

[YellowAquarium]

“Hey Alex, did you bring the raincoats?”
“Raincoats? For what?”
*points at oncoming wave
Alex: *AWW FUCK*

[Halli]

This is wave harmonics in a nutshell. The standing wave created initially was very impressive!

That one guy when everyone is trying to sleep during camp 6:14

[cjpesongco]

*wave just about to hit wall
Ad: OH HELLO MATE

[Thyco]

The most amazing part about this is that the moving part *completely* prevents water from getting to the back of the device. I wonder how they did that.
