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

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: proposed test bench comprises simulation tank with bottoms and fluid guide elements for underwater apparatus partially filled with fluid and with damping chamber, hydrostatic pressure setting system arranged in said tank, lock chamber with rack-back cover and underwater apparatus starter arranged at tank bottom, underwater apparatus brake-and-stop device and apparatus position and motion parameters registrator. This test bench differs from know designs in that bottoms inside said tank are coupled by bars bearing guide elements, said registrators, and said brake-and-stop device. Note here that portion of tank damping gas chamber is made up of receiver arranged thereon to communicate via retaining valve with aforesaid chamber. Note also that bottom with bars and lock chamber are equipped with bearing truck to extend them from tank in test bench parameter readjustment to match with analysed objects.
