Abstract
This paper presents the results of laboratory measurements of surface currents over a sphere moving in the fluid column based on the particle tracing velocimetry. A theoretical model of the fluid flowing around the sphere is presented. The experimental data are compared with the results of theoretical calculations. It is shown that, at low tow speeds of the sphere, the experimentally measured current velocities exceed the velocities calculated from the theoretical model. At greater tow velocities when generation of surface waves by the sphere was observed in the experiment, the experimental data agree well with the results of the theoretical calculations.
