Abstract:
This report is concerned with experiments on the TMB Number 7 Fairing Shape including experiments for a cable angle of zero degrees to obtain the lower boundary value of the tangential loading function. This report describes the subject fairing model, the cable fairing and towing girder dynamometers, the instrumentation, the experimental procedure and method gives sample plots used to obtain the loading expressions of normal and tangential forces versus model submergence for various speeds presents graphically, fairing drag coefficient versus Reynolds number and normal and tangential loading functions and provides the mathematical expressions, with coefficients, for the loading functions and drag coefficients.
