APPLICATION OF THE MICROCOMPUTER TECHNIQUE IN SURVEYING THE SHIP HYDRODYNAMIC PERFORMANCES

This is the text of a paper presented at the Conference on Advanced Scientific Instrumentation in Ship Hydrodynamics' held Varna, 2-5 Oct. 1984. It deals with newly-developed microcomputer-based instrumentation systems for use in model experimental work, full-scale trials, and monitoring of ships' performance. The Cetena CONSMETER system has been developed to provide information on power, rpm and specific consumption of the main engine. The MADAS <Manoeuvrability Data Acquisition System> is a microcomputer-based system specially designed to evaluate the manoeuvring characteristics of a ship during sea trials. The TOTAS <Towing Tank Acquisition System> is used to perform resistance tests, propulsion and open water tests and axial and 3-D wake surveys. The measurement and data processing units of the systems are described in detail. This Report is not available from BMT.
