Abstract Traditionally, towing tanks had been used primarily to assess the resistance of hulls in calm water, by means of towing geometrically similar scaled models at equal Froude number, usually without appendages such as rudder, propeller, and so on. When wave-making capability is available, towing tanks can also be used to determine seakeeping occurrences, such as green water effects and slamming, for a range of wave frequencies and amplitudes. This is not different for the University Austral of Chile Towing Tank, which has been involved in resistance and seakeeping tests of a variety of hulls, from fishing vessels to ferries, barges, and passenger ships, over the past 40 years. The development of marine industries other than shipbuilding, such as aquaculture, maritime connectivity of isolated geographical regions, and the harvesting of marine energy from tides and waves, have demanded a new set of tests with adequate models to properly replicate the physics of the full-scale case in the towing tank.
