A system has been developed to measure the turbulent lengthscales in the flow about a submerged body of revolution. The system consists of two Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) probes mounted inside the body of revolution with the beams projected outside of the body through conformal windows. The measurement volumes of the two probes can be independently positioned within a plane perpendicular to the body axis. The probes are used to measure velocity time series at various spacings in the flow field. Auto- and cross-correlations are computed for each measurement pair, from which integral lengthscales are then found. Measurements are compared to canonical data from a turbulent free shear jet. In this paper, the system is described and its theory of operation detailed. Methods of computing the velocity correlations from the random-arrival-time LDV measurements are presented, and a new noise-removal scheme for non-uniformly sampled data is introduced. Six methods for calculating the integral lengthscale from autocorrelation data are reviewed, and the results discussed for the present jet data measured with LDV.

Abstract The accuracy of an existing analytical solution for modeling the linear, first-order wave- induced loads on a fully submerged body is investigated. The accuracy is assessed for the situation where the underlying theoretical assumptions are met and the sensitivity of the accuracy to these assumptions is also explored. The accuracy was quantified by comparing the analytical solutions to experimental measurements from a tow tank with wave generation capability. The assessment showed that when all the assumptions are met, the heave and surge forces are predicted quite accurately but the pitch moment is over predicted. The results also showed that the deeply submerged assumption is met as long as the body does not cause a disruption of the passing wave on the free surface. The slenderness and end face curvature assumptions are also quite relaxed and the curvature assumption only affects the pitch moment accuracy. The most stringent assumption appears to be the body-of revolution assumption which can cause all three loads to be predicted poorly. The analytical solution appears to be accurate over a large parameter space and could be incorporated as a wave disturbance model into a virtual environment used to develop control and autonomy of unmanned underwater vehicles.

The present work deals with the numerical simulation of accelerating and decelerating motions of a submerged body of revolution, in order to investigate the influence of the thrust variation on the maneuvering characteristics. A finite volume method is adopted to solve the essentially 2D RANS, time-dependent equations in a body-fitted co-ordinate system. Two problems have been examined for a 50m body of revolution: (a) the stopping maneuver, i.e. crash stop from steady forward speed and then full astern and (b) full ahead at steady speed from rest and then full astern.
