| Résumé | The present report documents a test series conducted in the towing tank on life raft drift, towed life raft resistance and towed drogue resistance. These complimented a series of tests conducted by Fleet Technology Limited dealing with the capsize of a 1:7 scale model of a 20 person life raft. Towed resistance experiments conducted on standard drogues at full scale and 1:5, 1:7 and 1:9 scales. Experiments with series drogues (consisting of up to 40 cones in series) were conducted at full scale, at 1:7 scale and for an oversized full scale drogue design. Towed resistance experiments were conducted on a full scale 16 person life raft and on a 1:7 scale model of a 20 person raft. Wind drag experiments were also conducted for a range of canopy orientations relative to the wind direction. Life raft drift experiments were performed with the 1:7 model for 0.35 and 0.75 in regular waves with 1:15 and 1:7 steepness to simulate breaking wave conditions. |
