FOREWORD
The following report will develop a complete set of field equations for the dynamic motions
of a towed cable system. These equations, when solved, constitute a dynamic simulation of a
towed cable system.
During gentle maneuvers, the important forces in the governing force balances on a cable
system are tension and ydrodynamic drag. In more severe maneuvers involving highly dynamic
situations, however, the effects of shear, bending, torsion, extension, rotary inertia, and inertia can
be important, and sometimes even mathematically necessary.
Many dynamic models for simulating the motions of a towed cable system already exist.
Many of these models, however, by ignoring the above-mentioned effects, have iestrictive
assumptions built into them. The model represented by the equations developed here does not
have these restrictions. Thus, the equations can be used e:ther for more accurate simulations of
"highlyd ynamic situations or simply for studying the range of validity of simpler models.

(cid:127)FOR THE DYNAMIC SIMULAThIN
I OF A TOWED CABLE SYSTEM
TT HE COORDINATE SYSTEMS
The total field equations describing the dynamic behavior of a towed system involve four
coordinate systems: 1) a fixed inertial coordinate system in which to write the translational
dynamic equations, 2) a body-fixed/principal-axis coordinate system in which to write the
rotational dynamic equations, 3) a flow-based coordinate system in which to write the
hydrodynamic loading, and 4) a coordinate system based on the local cable curvature in which to
express the bending and twisting moments.
THE BODY-FIXED COORDINATE SYSTEM (i, 2, 3)
5,
Consider two orthonormal coordinate systems: a fixed inertial one (i, i), and a body-
fixed one (i, 2, 3). (See figure 1.) Three successive rotations, through the Euler angles (p,9 , and
N'. can be performed to transform (X., i) to (i, , ).
