  Ship model basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ship model basin may be either a physical basin or tank used to carry out hydrodynamic tests with ship models, or the organization (often a company) that owns and operates such a facility.
With or without a ship model, the propeller, attached to a dynamometer, is brought into the inflow, and its thrust and torque is measured at different ratios of propeller speed (number of revolutions) to inflow velocity.
The ship model basins worldwide are organized in the ITTC (International Towing Tank Conference) to standardize their model test procedures.

Often general fluid dynamics and specific ship hydrodynamics are mixed in teaching, but I believe that universities should first teach a course in general fluid dynamics which should be mandatory to most engineering students.
