... of the towed body and it was found that the heave motion of conventional monohull ships, but may have great influence on SWATH the surface towing vessel has significant influence on the first-class were included in the motion equations, namely the hydrodynamic towed body. A lot of researchers investigated...

... the interference of the mother ship motion on the towed body and has a certain heaving compensation function, more and more scholars focus on the research of the two-part towed system. Wu [Wu 2000, 2001, 2001] established a mathematical model of the two-part towed system by using the finite difference method...

..., the numerical calculation of a 3500m- depth towed cable is done. The cable responses to the heave motions of mother vessel are shown in the paper. INTRODUCTION Cables are widely used in ocean explorations. They are towed by mother vessels, attached with towed bodies including towed sonar systems, CTD...

... washover of towed bodies, fixed and free drifting buoys, and other maritime powered, tethered and free-floating bodies is extremely helpful in understanding and improving their hydrostatic and hydrodynamic performance under a wide variety of sea states. Here we discuss the theory, implementation...

... of the tests were to improve the knowledge of the vibratory behaviour of towed cables, the cable shapes and the towed body motions during different kind of maneuvers in order to validate software. The system consisted of a ship towing a submerged body and a cable. All parts of the system were instrumented...
