Abstract

Virginia Tech has recently acquired a new towing carriage and vertical planar motion mechanism. The new towing carriage replaces the original carriage that was installed in the 1960s. The original carriage had a maximum speed of roughly 3 m/s, and the new carriage has a maximum speed of 7 m/s with the current wavemaker installation. The towing tank facility is used for both teaching and research activities in ocean engineering. The vertical planar motion mechanism includes two linear actuators to change the pitching and heaving behavior of a surface or subsurface test article to model different phenomena such as slamming or porpoising of surface vessels and vertical plane maneuvers for subsurface vessels. The focus of this paper is on the determination of the specifications for the towing tank to meet both teaching and research needs and the early resistance experiments that have been conducted during initial shake-down of the new facility. The authors will discuss how preliminary resistance experiments compare to the USNA towing tank facility.

弗吉尼亚理工大学先进的拖车

弗吉尼亚理工大学最近获得了一个新的拖车和垂直平面运动机构。新的拖车取代了上世纪60年代安装的原来的拖车。原始车厢的最大速度约为3米/秒，而安装了当前造波器的新车厢的最大速度为7米/秒。拖曳舱设施用于海洋工程的教学和研究活动。垂直平面运动机构包括两个线性致动器，用于改变水面或水下试验件的俯仰和起伏行为，以模拟水面船舶的砰击或震荡以及水下船舶的垂直平面机动等不同现象。本文的重点是确定拖曳水箱的规格，以满足教学和研究的需要，以及在新设施初始调试期间进行的早期阻力实验。作者将讨论如何将初步阻力实验与USNA拖曳水箱设施进行比较。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment is concerned with the design, production and operation of engineering artefacts for the maritime environment. The journal straddles the traditional boundaries of naval architecture, marine engineering, offshore/ocean engineering, coastal engineering and port engineering.
