2. Test facility: Maneuvering rotating-arm basin
Introduction: Put into operation in 1968, the laboratory is the only large test facility in China capable of performing the test of model hydrodynamic force at a stable angular velocity. It is used for the research and test of maneuverability, one of the main properties of ships, especially for maneuverability theory research and test of ships and underwater vehicles, as well as maneuverability performance prediction for various types of underwater moving bodies.
Main test equipment: Tank, rotating arm, fully automatic turntable mechanism, fully automatic trailer, multi-component force sensor, and data acquisition and processing automation system.
3. Test facility: Open self-propelled model pool
Introduction: Built and put into use in 1980, the pool is used for research on maneuverability and navigation safety of surface ships and underwater vehicles.
Main test equipment: 3DOF piezoelectric angular rate gyro; small high-precision piezoelectric pressure sensor; telemetry system; hodoscope; steering engine; automatic depth-control gear; course-holding device; data acquisition and analysis system.
