Simulating Sea Ice at the Marine Hydrodynamics Lab
Adina Farca, a senior undergraduate in naval architecture and marine engineering, begins removing wiffle balls at the main model basin at the Aaron Friedman Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory on the Main Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
The students are working on research titled “Design and Evaluation of Naval Vessels for Arctic Operations” and is for the Naval Engineering Education Consortium under Associate Professor Kevin Maki. Professor Maki is the director of the MHL.
The research involves using 7,200 wiffle balls to simulate sea ice conditions.
