Title :
Viscous effects for the structural model of a towfish system

Abstract :
The vibration of structural members towed astern of a surface vessel has been modelled variously by strings and beams, neither of which accounts for the viscosity of water. The work of Cortinez and Laura accounts for viscosity as a damper. An application of their method to towfish systems and the vibrational modes which result are described.
