Introduction to physical experiment building of KIOST in Busan

Abstract

Upon the movement of Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) from Ansan to Busan, the Physical Experiment Building (PEB) was recently built in the new campus of KIOST, where several experimental facilities are being established. As of May 2019, PEB holds a wave basin, a wave flume, and a tilting flow channel. In addition, second wave flume will be commissioned by the end of this year. This paper describes an overview of those facilities with regard to design,capabilities, and foreseen applications.
