Forces in a cylinder in a vortex flow field
Forces in a cylinder in a vortex flow field
This thesis makes a study into submarine manoeuvring research and in particular the prediction of forces on a turning submarine. A history of the subject is given, and experiment and theoretical methods are described.
A lengthy experiment to examine the flow around an appended body of revolution in a water channel is described. Flow and pressure measurements are presented. Conclusions made state that an appendage acts as a spoiler to the flow when attached to a body of revolution in flow. This arrangement causes an asymmetry in the flow pattern and subsequently an asymmetry in the pressure distribution.
A simple computer model is described but predictions with experiment results are poor.

Abstract
This thesis makes a study into submarine manoeuvring research and in particular the prediction of forces on a turning submarine. A history of the subject is given, and experiment and theoretical methods are described.
A lengthy experiment to examine the flow around an appended body of revolution in a water channel is described. Flow and pressure measurements are presented. Conclusions made state that an appendage acts as a spoiler to the flow when attached to a body of revolution in flow. This arrangement causes an asymmetry in the flow pattern and subsequently an asymmetry in the pressure distribution.
A simple computer model is described but predictions with experiment results are poor.
