A Preliminary Study of Hydroelastic Behavior of Faired Towlines.

Abstract

A preliminary study of the hydroelastic behavior of a faired towline consists of a literature survey pertinent to the dynamics of a towline system, an examination of the stability of a sectional fairing in the light of the existing theories and experimental evidence of hydroelasticity, and a simplified calculation of the viscous flow past the AN/SQA-10 Fleet Type Towline with the USNUSL Sectional Fairing (the mid-section of the fairing is DTMB Hydrofoil Shape No. 7) in relation to the self-excited instability induced by the viscous wake.
