Abstract

It is now possible to simulate, almost in real time, the dynamic response of a towed body to oscillations of the cable top produced by the towing ship’s reaction to the waves. It is equally important that one may vary the magnitudes of the physical and hydrodynamic properties of the system to discover which have a dominant influence on the towed body (the “fish”).
