Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] dragged unpowered subs ?

Hi psubbers,

I just red something about gliding subs and so one during this I remember that I have an old but jolly good PC program for drag calculations...

It was designed in my good old university from the "fishing equipment" department....  so you can choose different kinds of ropes and due to the length of the roop, the vessel speed, the underwater drag force (resistance) and the bouyancy  incl. some fins (dynamic uplift)   --> put it in the program and you get the final shape of the rope and the depending deep of the sub ...

but may be that some of yours need it only for investigate the best wight to spinning speed relation for fishing ... :-))
