I always find it so fascinating against the juxtaposition of the many ways we really are animals. We can make these amazing indoor oceans, all these spectacular feats of engineering, yet we still panic like we're prepared to fight, we still seek dopamine rushes because of programming, we still fear death and crave intimacy... To me, I find that to be the most incredible part. It's not like the way we evolved our intelligence made it replace those more primal instincts -- it was just added alongside them, added on top. I think that's what makes us so exceptionally complex too. If we were just one or the other, we'd be boring and predictable. Instead, we can harness both of them to do amazing things and live happy lives! :)

Shout out to Miguel! You are so nice to hear and learn from you, a reall keen and open personality to explain curiousities of your work!

This is important for those of us who have been out in the ocean and facing 50-70' waves. The US Navy has lost 16 ships due to weather since 1900 and many more prior to that. So as a former sailor I can understand how important this pool and the study of Hull design is.

@idontwantahandlethough

Жыл бұрын

70' waves is kinda hard to wrap my head around tbh lol, that's frickin nuts! Edit: is a wave measured from peak to trough, or is it measured from the middle of the wave (which I assume is sea level but idk) to top/bottom of the peak/trough? I'm a dirty landlubber so I tend to think about [ocean] waves in the wrong way. Despite what my brain wants to think, a wave isn't just a section where the water is higher, it's usually a place with a section of water _lower_ than normal *AND* a section of water that is higher (which is super obvious since that's basically the definition of a wave lol). So I guess my question is if a 70' wave is more of a swell from -35' to 35', or if it means the wave is literally 70' above sea level (which seems to me would mean it probably goes down roughly 70' below sea level too..? Is that the case?) Edit2: ah, p-p amplitude is the term is was looking for. Is a wave height measured by peak-peak amplitude, or half of that value (which is what most people call regular 'amplitude', I think), or some other third way I haven't thought of?

I swam in pools my whole life- but my freshman year in high school we had a pool in the basement and to get to it you needed to climb down this really weird stair case. I always imaged my self slipping on the stairs, hitting my head, and then falling into the pool. If they are "nice" pools, I'm fine- like in a new fitness center or a gym or something. An example where I went to HS for senior year had a brand new Olympic swimming pool and I had no issues there.

A lot of this knowledge surrounding wave propagation we were taught to understand as AGs (Aerographer’s Mate - basically meteorologists for the aircraft and shipboard operations) in the Navy. What I found fascinating is that while the ocean is often depicted as a turbulent environment (and it is), there are areas of it that have zero turbulence. Working on an aircraft carrier, we would sometimes come across an area with calm winds. When that happens, the surface of the water becomes glasslike. Couple that with a marine layer of a fog bank, and you’re in for a surreal time!

0 seconds ago I was in those bad seas off of Hainan Island in a Liberty ship. 324 feet and we watched in awe these waves cresting over the bow. The freeboard on that tub was about 30'. We were battened down, I stood watch on the port side. 1967.

Anyone who has surfed for any significant time probably has an understanding of this without, perhaps, realizing the science behind it. Thanks Derek!

I would guess that surfers have a better understanding of when the wave base interacts with the bottom, and less understanding of the dynamics where this isn't going on. I was wondering at the beginning if they'd be able to control the depth, but they probably just plan to avoid areas where it matters when the weather is bad.

actually that's not how they work. yes they are fitted tightly however even between the tiny gaps there is a sheet that contains the water, you can see that at 1:39 they aren't fitted together so tightly that no water can escape, making the paddles fit together so snugly that without anything in between is impossible

I like how you put the ad at the end of the video, because it makes you appreciate watching the ad after such a great video. This channel is perhaps the single best channel on KZread.

Came across this channel unexpectedly. I'm gonna have to re watch this. I am a Sound Engineering student and we use Wave as the formulation of Sound. This was very interesting to watch. But, Imma have to come back to this cause I suck at math,🥴😂😂 and I need a note book to observe all these information in cause this was very informative and very educational. Super helpful for me.

Did you know John Hoyt at Carderock? He designed the fabulous miniature towing tank at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. It even had a wave maker, wave eater, and both powered and instrumented gravity powered carriage. Sadly, no matter how I tried to convince them, the management there tore it out about 25 years ago. Very very sad.

In college I took part in the human powered submarine races held there, and we broke a World Record for the fastest human powered submarine in Tennessee Tech's "Torpedo III". We went there several times and ran the timed races in the large tow tank. Lot's of us in the subs and lots of safety divers. It is a pretty amazing place.

Very educational and informative! Also the calculations that they have to perform is amazing. I could imagine it has to be accurate in order to determine the waves. Engineers are geniuses.

This is amazing. Never would have thought of something like this.

Good stuff. Scale model testing takes a lot of special adjustments because you can’t scale things like the water characteristics to make it more realistic. While working at a large mfg of over the road transportation vehicles, using scale model testing was used in research. The engineers putting metal on the road were not an easy sell vs full size testing of experimental (prototype) vehicles, which cost lots of money.

As a surfer, I’m semi-obsessed with learning about waves. This may be the best video I’ve ever seen. Well done!

wow. i used to live right across the street from the whole area growing up. now i know what makes all of that noise 😭. i never needed to set an alarm clock over the weekend, the national anthem woke me up in the morning.

Did you see the waves in California last week? They've never been that high and that constant to where it flooded parts of the inner city . They were insanely high. Some up to 40 feet high. I'm happy to say my son just enlisted in the Navy ❤❤❤

Just finished my Msc in Mec. Engineering with a wave energy converter model. Interesting to see a full scale wave flume in action. The basic wave theory was very well explained. Great video.

We had a very big wave pool at SERE but it was not quite this big. It was just really interesting how rough they could make the water in such a small space without it feeling cramped in any way. We had to get dumped in with our gear and be able to get up and onto a life raft, and then be able to call over radios. Needless to say trying to sit under a tarp on rough waters in a fake storm and also hear anything is difficult

I'm kinda depressed and stressed out, but seeing this makes me better, i have better feeling ❤

I pass by this facility everyday when I go to swim practice. Never knew it was this complex.

as a child i always loved playing in the sea with the waves and i did it so much i learnt how waves work in the practical way (i had even given names to some type of waves). watching this video helped understand the theory behind them as well and thats just trully amazing. what a great video.

I was there, to do testing, many years ago. (c.1978) As impressive as the wave makers, there are also the 'beaches', and then that 'bridge' over the ocean. It's as long as a football field, and each end is on a rail car. And it can pivot 45 degrees to the tank. We were using that to tow underwater equipment. Definitely a neat place. Great to see it again!

This is actually really cool, like I had no idea wave physics functioned in such a uniform fashion.

Wow, I never thought an indoor ocean would be that interesting and complex like that.

Brings back memories, used to work offshore in the North Sea and had to do the survival refresher course every 4 years, used to dread it when I had to do the course in Aberdeen, wave machines, darkness with explosive technics and flashing lights and even staff using a fire hose on you whilst trying to get on top of the liferaft to turn it over this was then followed by the helicopter ditching and the fire fighting, luckily they toned the firefighting down a bit because of injuries etc.

I always love hearing science stuff from Jason Chaffetz

the wave formation from the wind animation was trippy af, felt like a fractal zoom.

Story time! I joined the US Navy in 1975, recruited into the nuclear power program. My education was intense, something at which I did well, but when I got to the hands-on operation of a nuclear reactor (a safely land-locked fully-functional reactor prototype) the increased stress caused me to burn out, and I went to the fleet as a "regular" sailor. My first ship sent me to gyrocompass school, where the primary goal of the gyrocompass was always to point to True North. But to do that, the system had to account for many other effects, some of which were measured and provided as outputs to other systems, including not just navigation and ship stability systems, but also missile and gunfire control systems. The Navy had loaded me up with a ton of education, then assigned me to a completely new field for the controls for the shipboard gas turbine propulsions systems used on destroyers and cruisers. I did well in those schools (the Navy had made me VERY good at being a student), and was assigned to the awesome job of being part of the "nucleus crew" responsible for "buying" a newly-built destroyer for the Navy, taking it from the shipbuilder to active commissioned duty. My ship was the USS Harry W. Hill, DD-986, a Spruance-class destroyer. As we were nearing the end of our pre-commissioning inspections, Hurricane Frederick approached the shipyard at Pascagoula, Mississippi. All ships present and under construction were lashed to their pier moorings with triple line sets. Then it became clear that the storm would strike us especially hard, so at the last moment the decision was made to send all ships to sea that were capable of it. Which included our ship, which was still owned by the shipyard, and was operated by a civilian captain and crew, with us sailors helping out in every way possible. It was one hell of a ride. The waves were breaking OVER THE TOP OF THE SHIP, and our captain was concerned that any wave could cause us to drive ourselves into the water and to the bottom. We survived (obviously), but when we returned to port, the front of the superstructure had been "waffled", something the USS Hill proudly displayed for her entire 20-year career. Another thing also happened: All the ships sensors, many of which I knew "personally", had recorded troves of data during the storm. The data was copied and whisked away by NAVSEA (the folks responsible for ship designs) for analysis. But I got to take a look at it as well. Using a very simple model of the ship, and the recordings of its motions in all directions, I was able to reconstruct a very simple analysis of the sea state (simple, in that I hadn't yet learned differential equations, and so had to use approximations). Frederick wasn't huge as hurricanes go, but it approached and struck in a way that the shallow Gulf coast served to amplify its waves. Despite my being ON THE SHIP through the storm, looking at that data made me realize just how fortunate we had been to suffer only trivial damage. It's a testament to the extreme talent and skill of our civilian captain, "Captain Pat", to know where to point the bow and how hard to drive the engines. That's the point I want to make. Yes, models and tanks can help evolve ship designs. But it takes talented leadership and crew to make such ships do amazing things under the worst conditions, and do so without losing or damaging the ship. How does the Navy train "ship drivers" to take a vessel beyond its "book" limits? I don't know the answer, but I'm glad they've figured out how to get it done! The data indicated a high risk of destruction. Yet we "managed just fine". Go figure.
