Hydrodynamic Slamming on a Large Sonar Dome Fitted on a DL-2 Destroyer.

Abstract

To obtain data on hydrodynamic slamming on the bottom of a large sonar dome of a DL-2 destroyer, a 20-ft model of the ship was tested in the Harold E. Saunders Maneuvering and Seakeeping Facility of the Naval Ship Research and Development Center. Both the probability of occurrence of slamming and the magnitude of the associated pressures wree investigated. The tests were conducted on a model of the DL-2 fitted with a sonar dome of the SQS 26 type.
