... In January 2004, Memorial University purchased a stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system for making flow measurements. Although the system was potentially very versatile, its primary application was envisioned to be in a towing tank. The system was supplied as a complete package...

... principle of suction and density differences. The system presented differs from its counterparts in that it speeds up the gravity-separation in the settling tank into which the oil-water mixture is taken with high rates of flow. An experimental model for this system is constructed and tested...

... This paper describes the experimental model designed and built at Institute for Ocean Technology (IOT) to measure the ice performance of the podded propulsors in the ice tank. The model is capable of measuring forces and moments on the overall system, propeller shaft bearing loads and the loads...

... During the past thirty years, the use of North American towing tanks for the design of high-performance sailing yachts has changed dramatically. These changes are evident in the specific facilities completing these test programs, the quality of test equipment, procedures and results, and the way...

... analysis, for several reasons. The form of the manoeuvering equations in ice is different from that in open water. Runs in the ice tank are restricted in length, and the number of runs is restricted by the time and cost to produce an ice sheet. This paper outlines a new methodology for manouvering testing...

... The Langley seawater tow tank, located on Langley Airbase in Hampton, Virginia, was designed and built by NACA in 1931 for seaplane research and has been in various states of use since then. Since 1983, NUWC has maintained stewardship of the tank and has conducted a large number of tests...
