The connection between the upper vessel body 101 and the lower vessel body 102, as well as the connection between the end caps 103 and the upper and lower vessel bodies 101 and 102, are all secured with fastening bolts 8. A seawater circulation inlet 104 is provided on the side wall of the lower vessel body 102, and a seawater circulation outlet 105 is provided on the side wall of the upper vessel body 101, facilitating connection with other systems for simulation experiments.
[0024] The wave-generating device includes wave-generating blades 2 and a wave-generating motor 3 installed inside the lower vessel body 102. The wave-generating motor 3 is connected to the wave-generating blades 2 via a magnetic system. The wave-generating motor 3 is a servo motor, which is connected to the internal cavity of the vessel body 1 via a magnetic system to ensure overall sealing. The wave-generating motor 3 is connected to the wave-generating blades 2. By controlling the period and swing angle of the servo motor, the deep-sea seabed surge state is simulated.
[0025] The nozzle assembly is symmetrically arranged inside the two end caps 103 of the vessel body 1. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle connecting pipe 4, an array of nozzles 5, and a nozzle control motor 6. The array of nozzles 5 includes a nozzle disc 501 and nozzles 502.

The nozzle connecting pipe 4 is designed to be rotatable. The nozzle control motor 6 controls the nozzle connecting pipe 4 to raise, lower, and rotate the array of nozzles 5.

[0026] Three sets of viewing windows 7 are arranged on the side wall of the vessel body 1, allowing for multi-angle experimental observation. The three sets of viewing windows 7 are arranged in three layers, with each set containing three sapphire windows. Two windows are arranged opposite each other in each layer, and one window is arranged to the side. The viewing windows 7 are high-pressure sapphire windows, capable of withstanding the corresponding design pressure.
