✦ Synopsis

This paper reports on laboratory experiments conducted for the loop manoeuvre of underwater towed models of a cable-array system. The purpose of the experiment is to record the cable-array configuration in the vertical and azimuthal planes, and measure the tow-point tension while the tow-ship model is performing a full 360 ° loop manoeuvre at different radii and speeds, in the calm waters of the wave-basin test facility. The test setup utilises an underwater video camera, TV, VCR and a ring-type strain-gauge load cell. The X, Y, Z coordinates of the cablearray system are obtained by measuring frozen displays of the experimental configuration. The coordinate and tension results obtained from experiments are compared with computed values.

A hydrodynamic model of a two-part underwater manoeuvrable towed system is proposed in which a depressor is equipped with active horizontal and vertical control surfaces, and a towed vehicle is attached to the lower end of a primary cable. In such a system the towed vehicle can be manoeuvred in both
