Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic response of undersea -+towed systems is num erically simulated. A two body towed system is especially considered i n detail. The factors influencing the heave of towed-bodies, such as t he weight of the towed-body (in sea water), the length and the weight (in sea water) per unit length of the cable between towed-bodies and t owing ship, are investigated in detail. Calculations show that the two -body towed system can greatly increases the stability of the towed sy stem.
