The UM technicians were introduced to UNIGE by Dr. Ricci and Prof. Figari. The tow tank theory, led by Prof. Diego Villa was discussed, and a detailed practical demonstration by Alberto Ferrari and Sergio Talocchi followed showing all the procedures to complete a tow test, starting from out-fitting, accurate weighing, model draught and trim checks, loading into the tank and connections to the carriage. Following a few tow runs the data acquired was post-processed to show the procedure in compliance with ITTC standards. Prof. Giorgio Tani introduced the cavitation tunnel and COMPASS Lab autonomous models
