Six Fairing Solutions for Deeper and Faster Towing
By DeRegt CablesObjects that move through liquid are influenced by hydrodynamic forces that affect ropes and cables when towing.
The hydrodynamic forces on towed cables can be altered by changing the geometry of the cable, typically its cross-sectional shape.
This white paper offers a brief introduction into these 'fairing' methods, which allow for deeper and faster towing.
