Experiments to conduct, summer
- Purpose
- Detection of flow separation at bow
- Detection of helical vortex
- – Drag reduction during maneuvers
- – Characterization of pressure field in real
real operating conditions - Detection of helical vortex
- less important
- Drag reduction during maneuvers
- Characterization of pressure field in real operating conditions
- Experiments to perform
- Circular maneuver in still water
- could be done in Pandan Reservoir
- characterize pressure change across the bow for manevers at different speeds and circle radii
