Experimental research remains important for evaluating the performance of offshore structures and ships in waves. To conduct useful experiments, it would be advantageous to first develop a high-performance absorbing wave-maker that can generate both regular and irregular waves. The construction of such a wave-maker is investigated in this study via wave-maker theory and wave-absorbing theory. Concerns have been raised recently regarding the configuration of wave basins, because researchers are doubtful as to whether the commonly used configuration of a rectangular wave tank is a suitable geometry within which to conduct experiments. This review paper presents a summary of the theory of wave generation and wave absorption in wave basins, as well as a new experimental concept and results of investigations based on the above theories. Due to space constraints, a pneumatic-type wave-maker is not reviewed here. For this type of wave-maker, a completely different approach is required. And nonlinear problem-related wave generation and absorption are also not reviewed. Those important subjects will be reviewed at some other time.
