Marine-origin loads encountered throughout the service life of ships and offshore structures play a critical role in their design. Prior to construction, it is essential to experimentally model these structures, subject them to representative wave conditions, and refine their designs accordingly. To support such experimental efforts, this study focuses on the design and mathematical modeling of a flap-type linear wave generator intended for operation in a wave basin. A mathematical model is developed based on the linear wave generator theory and simulated under varying parametric conditions to investigate its wave-making capabilities. The parametric analysis provides insights into feasible experimental conditions within physical constraints and establishes a methodological basis for the design of experimental setups and measurement strategies. The study aims to inform pre-experimental planning and contribute to theoretical foundation for future experimental investigations.
