for anyone wondering (and because an explanation is inexplicably absent) "CFD" in this context means "computational fluid dynamics" They're using the tank to verify simulations of water flow and boat movements. Better and more-accurate simulations can help reduce the cost and time of the ship design process
Cambridge English Dictionary defines unique as "being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual, or special in some way". Merriam-Webster defines unique as "being the only one; being without a like or equal, distinctively characteristic; or unusual". It doesn't have just one meaning 😉

It is not a "very" unique facility. Unique means one of a kind 😂😂. It is a very specialized, and first rate facility though for wave dynamics testing.
