The Sand Motor (also known as Sand Engine) is a huge volume of sand that will be applied along the coast of South-Holland at Ter Heijde in 2011. Wind, waves and currents will spread the sand naturally along the coast of South-Holland. This is called ‘Building with Nature’. The Sand Motor will gradually change in shape and will eventually be fully incorporated into the dunes and the beach. The coast will be broader and safer.

Pre-programming of the system via Labview also makes it possible to let the experiment run overnight, without actually having to be there.

In the short to medium term, turbines will be installed in farms - arrays of turbines - that will interact with the flow and each other, modifying, both the performance of, and the loading experienced by the turbines.

How can the flowfield be characterized when there are waves superimposed on a turbulent bottom boundary layer? These are questions they wanted to answer at the large scale wave flume CIEM in Barcelona. The solution to the challenge was a grid of Vectrinos.

Since the hydraulic laboratories in China are often large, it is not always practical to run cables across the models.
