The Kelvin Hydrodynamics Lab tank provides excellent conditions for research into the performance of ships and a wide variety of floating and underwater structures.

The laboratory houses a diesel engine test-bed in a soundproof cell. We also have a separate workshop for students to use where they can construct models for design and build projects.

The laboratory houses 68 computers.  Learn more about our software.
