Facilities

The ICIEM is the infrastructure where LIM/UPC carries out teaching, research and technology transfer based on experimentation with physical scale models in the field of Maritime and Coastal Engineering.

At present the ICIEM main facilities are:

• a large-scale wave and currents flume CIEM (Canal d’Investigació i Experimentació Marítima);
• a small-scale flume (CIEMito); 
• a 3 D basin (LaBassa),

A significant part of the current research performed at CIEM is supported by the Hydralab+ EU funded project, which is able to provide access to CIEM facilitiy to external researchers.
