The George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Program is a project funded under the NSF Major Research Equipment Program. This cooperative agreement, under the NEES Program, establishes a NEES tsunami/wave basin research site located at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory (WRL) on the Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, campus. This award is an outcome of the peer review of proposals submitted to program solicitation NSF 00-6, "NEES: Earthquake Engineering Research Equipment." The following equipment is provided under this award: (1) long-stroke, high velocity, directional, solitary wave generator, (2) velocity transducers, (3) video workstations, (4) database and file server, (5) expansion of the existing data acquisition system to accommodate teleobservation, teleoperation, teletransmission, and telestorage, and (6) equipment for teleobservation and teleoperation capabilities so that experiments on the equipment will be observable and controllable via high performance network connections. To accommodate the new wave generator and tsunami experimentation, Oregon State University will expand its existing 3-D wave basin facility at the WRL to 26.5m x 48.8m x 2.0m deep and provide a bridge crane over the wave basin. The basin will be equipped with electro-resistive wave gauges to provide accurate, local wave measurements and to validate other imaging techniques (video, laser, radar and acoustic) to increase aerial coverage of wave diffraction and refraction patterns. This equipment will be operational by 2004 or earlier and will be managed as a national shared-use NEES equipment site, with teleobservation and teleoperation capabilities, to provide new earthquake engineering research testing capabilities for test and validation of advanced analytical and numerical models of tsunami-wave/structure interactions for a full range of ocean, coastal, and harbor studies through 2014. Shared-use access and training will be coordinated through the NEES Consortium. This NEES equipment site will be connected to the NEES collaboratory via a Gigabit Ethernet link to the information management facilities located at the Northwest Alliance for Computational Science and Engineering (NACSE). The transmission of data to remote sites will take place via Internet2's Abilene Network. Digital cameras will be used to enhance the physical model experience by providing multiple, simultaneous frames of reference and fields of view for both local and remote investigators. In addition, full-motion cameras, a new data acquisition system, and a comprehensive Information Architecture will allow local and remote users to rapidly examine selected data channels at various levels of analysis. A Tsunami Experiment Databank will be established so the broader earthquake engineering research community can study the results of tsunami experiments, reducing the need for experimentation and providing data for validating numerical models. The University will integrate this tsunami/wave basin equipment into its research program, undergraduate and graduate instruction, and K-12 and community outreach. The University will also provide training opportunities for outside researchers through on-site courses and workshops, and web-based materials that will assist university faculty at other institutions to incorporate tsunami test experiences in undergraduate and graduate courses.

小乔治·E·布朗地震工程模拟网络 (NEES) 计划是 NSF 重大研究设备计划资助的一个项目。 该合作协议根据 NEES 计划，在 O.H. 建立了一个 NEES 海啸/波浪盆地研究站点。欣斯代尔波浪研究实验室 (WRL) 位于俄勒冈州科瓦利斯市俄勒冈州立大学校园。 该奖项是对提交给 NSF 00-6 项目征集“NEES：地震工程研究设备”的提案进行同行评审的结果。 该奖项提供以下设备：（1）长冲程、高速、定向、孤立波发生器，（2）速度传感器，（3）视频工作站，（4）数据库和文件服务器，（5）现有数据采集系统的扩展，以适应远程观测、远程操作、远程传输和远程存储，以及（6）用于远程观测和远程操作能力的设备，以便 通过高性能网络连接，设备上的实验将是可观察和可控的。 为了适应新的波浪发生器和海啸实验，俄勒冈州立大学将把 WRL 现有的 3D 波浪池设施扩大到 26.5m x 48.8m x 2.0m 深，并在波浪池上方提供桥式起重机。 该盆地将配备电阻式波浪计，以提供准确的局部波浪测量，并验证其他成像技术（视频、激光、雷达和声学），以增加波浪衍射和折射图案的空中覆盖范围。 该设备将在 2004 年或更早之前投入运行，并将作为国家共享 NEES 设备站点进行管理，具有远程观测和远程操作能力，提供新的地震工程研究测试能力，用于测试和验证海啸波浪/结构相互作用的高级分析和数值模型，以进行到 2014 年的全方位海洋、沿海和港口研究。共享使用访问和培训将通过 NEES 联盟进行协调。 该 NEES 设备站点将通过千兆以太网链路连接到 NEES 合作实验室，连接至位于西北计算科学与工程联盟 (NACSE) 的信息管理设施。 数据到远程站点的传输将通过 Internet2 的阿比林网络进行。数码相机将用于通过为本地和远程调查人员提供多个同步参考系和视野来增强物理模型体验。 此外，全动态摄像机、新的数据采集系统和全面的信息架构将允许本地和远程用户快速检查不同分析级别的选定数据通道。将建立海啸实验数据库，以便更广泛的地震工程研究界可以研究海啸实验的结果，减少实验需求并为验证数值模型提供数据。该大学将把这种海啸/波浪池设备整合到其研究计划、本科生和研究生教学以及 K-12 和社区外展中。 该大学还将通过现场课程和研讨会以及网络材料为外部研究人员提供培训机会，以帮助其他机构的大学教师将海啸测试经验纳入本科生和研究生课程。
