{wiki=Ship_model_basin}
A ship model basin, also known as a towing tank or ship model test facility, is a specialized water tank used for conducting experiments and testing the hydrodynamic performance of ship models and other marine structures. These facilities are essential in naval architecture and marine engineering for several reasons: 1. **Hydrodynamic Testing**: Ship model basins allow researchers and designers to study the behavior of models in water, assessing factors such as resistance, propulsion efficiency, maneuverability, and stability.
