The Neutralization of Surf Region Mines.

Abstract

There is significant military interest in the dynamic behavior of a net array of circular cylinders traveling through a fluid medium. Although research has been conducted on a towed single line configuration in water, there is little information regarding the dynamic behavior of a towed net configuration. This investigation examined the effect that physical geometry, tow velocity, and tow angle- of-attack had on the lift and drag acting on a net towed in water. The measurements indicate a significant relationship between these factors and the stability of the net, and also provide normalized polynomial equations which will be useful in predicting the aero-ballistics of the net.
