Experimental Determination of the Hydrodynamic Mass of Various Bodies,

Abstract

This report presents the results of an experimental study of the hydrodynamic mass and hydrodynamic mass moment of inertia of submerged bodies. Hydrodynamic mass and damping force data were obtained for three towed body shapes translating in the direction of towing and perpendicular to the direction of towing. Hydrodynamic mass moment of inertia data were obtained for a prolate spheroid rotating about its minor axis.
