Abstract
ABSTRACT Steady manoeuvring forces and moments over a generic submarine hull form (SUBOFF) at various angles of incidence were investigated through scaled model tests in the Wind Tunnel Facility at the Naval Science and Technological Laboratory, India. Measurements were performed for a range of angles of incidence in angle of attack (±18°) and drift (±18°) including control surface deflections (±15°) on a 1.372 m model at Reynolds number 1.7 × 106. The present study at angles of incidence is to gather steady-state force, and moment data and validate such load measurements performed in a Wind Tunnel. The particulars of the SUBOFF model, experimental facility and measurement technique, test results for load measurements and estimated hydrodynamic coefficients are highlighted in the paper. The measurement data generated from the above studies will complement the current research on hydrodynamic characteristics for submerged bodies both computationally and experimentally.
