HYDRODYNAMIC INDUCED VIBRATIONS OF CYLINDERS TOWED IN VARIOUS COMBINATIONS,

Abstract

Cylinders in various combinations were towed in the basin of the David Taylor Model Basin to determine possible relative positions in which hydrodynamic-induced vibrations might be reduced or eliminated. Tests were made with the following combinations of cylinders; two of the same size towed in tandem, a pair of cylinders of which the forward one was smaller and towed both dead ahead and slightly to one side of the rear cylinder, and a single cylinder with an adjustable cable towed ahead of it.
