Experimental Determination of the Hydrodynamic Loading Functions for the B-5 Trailing Fairing
Abstract
This report describes the faired-cable model, the towing dynamometer, and the test procedures; gives sample curves of normal and tangential forces versus submergence for various speeds; presents tabulated loading functions; gives plots of the normal and tangential loading functions versus cable angle and a plot of drag coefficient versus Reynolds number; and provides the mathematical expressions derived for the loading functions.
