HYDRODYNAMIC BENCH Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01M10/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: hydrodynamic bench includes chamber with end bulkheads, which is filled with fluid, and guide elements for underwater vehicle, device for its braking operation, air damping cavity, installation system of hydrostatic pressure and attachment point of starting device of underwater vehicle. End bulkhead of chamber with starting device arranged in it is detachable, and braking device is rigidly positioned with starting device by means of rods. At that, at least on two rods there fixed are structures with guide elements in the form of frame brackets, and at least on one of the above structures there installed are sensors fixing underwater vehicle position (movement) at start-up; cable links of the above sensors are arranged together with measuring and recording instruments inside the rod. Strong chamber of hydrodynamic bench is filled with inhibitor, and its damping cavity is filled with inert gas; at that, chamber is equipped with gas or liquid discharge valve as underwater vehicle moves in it during start-up.
