Towed Array Hydrodynamic Research in the Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP)

Abstract

This memo reproduces a presentation describing the towed array hydrodynamic tests performed by the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division, Newport, RI, under the Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program. The tests, conducted in June 2007 at the Naval Surface Warfare Center's David Taylor Model Basin in Carderock, MD, were designed to measure the turbulent boundary layer velocity profiles, mean wall shear stress, and wall pressure fluctuations on an experimental towed array. The research objectives, experimental approach, measurement techniques, and preliminary results are provided.
