Measurements in the Field of Flow on Two Afterbody Models (Messungen im Stroemungsfeld on Zwel Hinterschiffsmodellen),
Abstract
Measurements in the field of flow around the afterbody carried out on two double models in a wind tunnel indicate that in the case of the extremely rounded form the flow proceeds in such fashion as was to be expected qualitatively. In the case of the model with rectangular frames, however, only in the vicinity of the bilge is the friction layer on the parallel middle body approximately the same as on the corresponding body of revolution while it is approximately four times as thick in the vicinity of the waterline or keel line. On the tapering afterbody, moreover, the transverse flow around the sharp bilge leads to the formation of strong longitudinal vortices in this case. (Author)
