| Résumé | Within the context of the construction of a multi-directional seakeeping tank in the recent laboratory of the Institute for Marine Dynamics in St. John's, Newfoundland. Canada, a literature review, including a survey of laboratory facilities around the world, has been conducted on wave absorbers. The aim of the study was to help in a systematic way in developing an "optimum" wave absorber satisfying the main constraints of restricted length and variable water depths. This paper presents the main results obtained from the survey and suggests some future orientation regarding the research activities in this area. |
