STUDY OF WAKE GENERATING SYSTEM FOR AN ASW TRAINING DEVICE

Abstract

The possibility of generating an artificial wake by means of chemical, electrolytic, galvanic, or other method was investigated. The chemical method using sodium borohydride as an active hydrogen-generating ingredient was selected. An experimental vehicle was designed and various tests were made. The last test proved that the artificially generated wake showed the same characteristics on the sonar display as the wake of the submarine.
