This newly inaugurated wave flume, fully indigenously developed, has been operational since 2024. The state-of-the-art facility is engineered to generate both regular and irregular (random) waves, offering precise control over a wide range of wave conditions. With the addition of this flume, the Ocean Engineering Laboratory at IIT Bombay now houses two advanced wave flumes, substantially augmenting its experimental capabilities in coastal and ocean hydrodynamics. The facility will soon be equipped with a reversible current generation system, further enhancing its ability to simulate realistic oceanic environments for comprehensive studies on wave-current-structure interactions.

The Ocean Computational Laboratory is a dedicated facility designed to support advanced simulation, modeling, and data analysis tasks in civil and ocean engineering. The lab comprises more than 10 high-performance workstations and over 30 desktop computers, equipped with industry-standard software packages, and various open-source CFD and FEA tools. This setup provides ample computing resources for both Masters and PhD students to perform numerical simulations, develop computational models, and engage in data-driven research. The lab serves as a core component of the department’s efforts to integrate computational proficiency into the academic and research ecosystem.

Moreover, the students will have access to the department’s High Performance Computing (HPC) facility.
