Meet the FlowPike

Sea Trials

MARIN’s latest development: a unique large scale flow measurement device to measure flow fields on board real ships. This device has the potential to open up a whole new field for validation of full scale flows.
After thorough testing in our basins, the device is now ready to be deployed at sea. Its first mission will be for wake field measurements in the JoRes Joint Research Project.
