Towed Body Solutions Using Graphs of Non-Dimensional Cable Functions.

Abstract

Values of the non-dimensional cable functions used in computations to obtain towcable tensions, towed body depth and towed body trail are listed in Table I of DTMB Report No. 687, (reference (a)). This memorandum contains a compendium of the non-dimensional calbe functions in the form of a single graph and examples of typical solutions in towed body applications. The graphical plot and typical solutions are published so as to amplify and simplify the utility. The cable functions when used in the abridged form shown will enable engineers to obtain approximate solutions to towed body problems.
