An Experimental Investigation of the Static Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Several Simulated Faired Cables Having Symmetrical Naca Airfoil Sections

摘要

The results of a systematic experimental study of the static hydrodynamic characteristics of several cable fairing models are presented. In addition, the models were tested at a reduced ambient pressure. Photographs of typical cavitation and ventilation patterns are presented and the ventilation characteristics of all models are summarized. (Author)
