Abstract: The facility includes an artificial wave generator having a water driving member movable along a predetermined path, including a body delimiting a water flow chamber open by an inlet opening located at the front and facing forward and by an outlet opening located rearward of the inlet opening and facing the wave progression zone, the body including peripheral walls which entirely close the chamber from the inlet opening to the outlet opening except optionally at the side that faces upward.

Abstract: Disclosed is a facility including an artificial wave generator having an element for driving moving water along a predetermined path, including a first body profiled as a hydrofoil, orientated upright, having a leading edge towards the front, a trailing edge towards the rear, first and second main faces extending respectively on a first side and a second side, between the leading and trailing edges, and being configured with respect to the path so that when the generator is in service, a lift force directed towards a wave development zone is applied on the first body; and a second body profiled as a hydrofoil, orientated horizontally, having a leading edge towards the front, a trailing edge towards the rear, first and second main faces extending respectively on a first side and a second side.

Abstract: A disclosed facility includes a wave generator, a support including an edge zone, a culminating zone, a progression zone sloping upwardly between the edge and culminating zones, a crest between the culminating zone and a depressed zone depressed relative to the crest, water situated over the edge and progression zones, forming part of an aquatic environment including horizontally contiguous upper and deep regions which are respectively higher than and lower than the edge zone, and an inner zone over the edge and progression zones and which is vertically contiguous with the upper region; the facility being configured such that the water at end of travel of the waves gets past the crest and falls into a reception volume delimited by the depressed zone when the generator is in use; and a fluidic communication below the support linking the deep region to an opening that is open to the reception volume.
