In 2016 on behalf of WASS, Finmeccanica Defense Systems Division, Towing experiments have been carried out for the Sonar VDS. The shapes of the body required an assembly of the model around the Remmers R-62 six component balance that prevented the experimental evaluation of the interference effects of the towing strut on measurements according to the INSEAN standard. In agreement with the Customer, it was decided to determine this interference with the use of numerical simulations with the CFX calculation code. The validation of the calculation package was obtained by first reproducing the conditions of the tests in the tank, then the simulations were repeated in a fluid domain representative of the open sea. Many of the results obtained by the numerical simulation are in good agreement with the tank experiments. As regards the resistance tests, the minimum deviations from the experimental data are 5%. In the case of static yaw tests the difference between tank results and numerical simulations is about 3% on the side force and 5% on the rolling moment, but it is not in agreement on the yaw moment. In the case of pitch angle of attack tests, the two experiments provide different results.
Nel 2016 è stata eseguita una campagna di prove di rimorchio a quota profonda sul simulacro di Sonar VDS per conto di WASS, Finmeccanica Defence Systems Division. Le forme del corpo hanno imposto un montaggio del modello attorno alla bilancia a 6-componenti Remmers R-62 che ha impedito di valutare sperimentalmente l'effetto del braccio di traino sulle misure secondo lo standard INSEAN. In accordo con il Committente si è deciso di determinare tale interferenza con l'utilizzo di simulazioni numeriche col codice di calcolo CFX. La validazione del pacchetto di calcolo è stata ottenuta riproducendo prima le condizioni delle prove in vasca, quindi le simulazioni sono state ripetute in un dominio fluido rappresentativo del mare aperto. Molti dei risultati ottenuti dalla numerica sono in buon accordo con la sperimentazione. Per il rimorchio in assetto dritto gli scostamenti minimi dal dato sperimentale sono del 5%. Nel caso di traino in deriva con imbardata la differenza tra prove vasca e simulazione numerica è del 3% sulla forza laterale e del 5% sul momento di rollio, ma non è in accordo sul momento di imbardata. Nel caso di avanzamento con angolo d'attacco in beccheggio invece le due sperimentazioni forniscono risultati diversi.

Abstract
In 2016 on behalf of WASS, Finmeccanica Defense Systems Division, Towing experiments have been carried out for the Sonar VDS. The shapes of the body required an assembly of the model around the Remmers R-62 six component balance that prevented the experimental evaluation of the interference effects of the towing strut on measurements according to the INSEAN standard. In agreement with the Customer, it was decided to determine this interference with the use of numerical simulations with the CFX calculation code. The validation of the calculation package was obtained by first reproducing the conditions of the tests in the tank, then the simulations were repeated in a fluid domain representative of the open sea. Many of the results obtained by the numerical simulation are in good agreement with the tank experiments. As regards the resistance tests, the minimum deviations from the experimental data are 5%. In the case of static yaw tests the difference between tank results and numerical simulations is about 3% on the side force and 5% on the rolling moment, but it is not in agreement on the yaw moment. In the case of pitch angle of attack tests, the two experiments provide different results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
