Experimental Determination of the Hydrodynamic Mass of Various Bodies,

Abstract

This report gives the results of an experimental determination of the hydrodynamic mass coefficient and damping coefficient for three towed body shapes. It also discusses the results of tests to determine the effect of boundaries near the test body. The towed body shapes were the circular configuration, billboard configuration, and the 'Y' configuration. The tests were performed with the bodies oscillating in translation in a vertical plane in a direction perpendicular to the direction of towing. A sphere was used as the test body in the boundary effect tests.
