RESISTANCE AND STABILITY TESTS OF THE WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTITUTION CURRENT-INDICATOR BUOYS,
Abstract
The instrument uses the drag of a buoy to measure current velocities. The drag of 1/3-scale models of three proposed forms for the buoy and a full-scale model of one of these forms to determine which of the forms was best suited to the purpose. The full-scale model was also tested for stability. From the tests conducted Buoy 1 was found to have the most satisfactory performance. (Author)
