When we conduct higher order experiment in wave basins, we must consider the following three points. One is related to a configuration of wave basin, second is a control of towing carriage and third is a control of absorbing wavemakers. A configuration of wave basins is usually rectangular and the wave basin has a wavemaker at the end of it. It can not be cleared whether this configuration and wavemakers are adequate or not for wave basins. This paper describes theories, experiments and simulations mentioned above by cotrolling absorbing wavemakers, the advancing ship model, which trajectory is also controlled, can encounter the given waves at the expected position and time in proposed new wave basins, which configurations are circular, ellipse and convex polygon.
