DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF UNDERWATER CABLES FLOW INDUCED TRANSVERSE VIBRATIONS

Abstract

The dynamic behavior of strumming hydrophone cables associated with air-launched sonobuoy surveillance systems is reported for a 200 to 3000 Reynolds number range. The study techniques and the scaling laws have application wherever underwater flexible cables are employed. Results are reported in four specific areas: experimental diagnostic techniques, cable tuning effects, frequency scaling law, and dynamic motion analysis.
