EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THE COURSE STABILITY OF A TOWED BARGE

M. Tanaka

Abstract

The respective force and moment acting on a barge and skegs were measured by means of oblique towing test, i.e. the influence of the type of skegs as well as their locations on the stability was clarified. Towing tests with systematically varied tow-line and bridle lengths were carried out, and the barge motions were investigated. Order from NSFI as No. 17147.
