Hydromechanical research

Hydromechanics research projects considered of importance to the Navy are conducted annually by nongovernment laboratories under a financial support program maintained by the Bureau of Ships. The middle of March is the next deadline for submitting proposals for the program, which is technically administered by the David Taylor Model Basin. Areas of interest are resistance, propulsion, stability, control, seakeeping characteristics, radiation of underwater sound, and other hydromechanics problems which may be applicable to surface and subsurface Navy craft.
