Abstract
The present invention relates to an experimental apparatus for researching characteristics of subsea tunnel at bottom of seabed under wave, comprising main control system, wave making test system, rock and soil confining pressure test system and water level regulation test system, wherein a bottom of the rock and soil confining pressure test system is connected with the water level regulation test system; a bottom of the wave making test system is connected with the rock and soil confining pressure test system; and all test systems are electrically connected with the main control system. The experimental apparatus, when being small, may simulate the situation of the subsea tunnel under a nonlinear complex wave, may consider the common action of the seabed and the wave, and may regulate water levels and soil pressures, having perfect functions and effectively exploring the effect of various aspects on the subsea tunnel.
