“…The forces acting at the midpoint of each segment are also available from the analysis results. Detailed results are available in reference [5]. Cable profile achieved by each cable for a given payout at different speeds are plotted, which represents the catenary profile variation of the cables.…”

Hydrodynamic analysis of tow cable has an important role in the design of towed system. Cable catenary, cable depth attained for a given cable length, cable tension and angle of cable with the body are the parameters that affects the towed system related to tow cable. This paper deals with analysis of a set of commercially available cables of different properties using Orcaflex software. The cables were analysed for different payouts at different speeds. A comparative study was performed on the results obtained relating the cable properties (diameter and buoyancy). This provides a rough idea on the catenary profiles that reflects the depth and trail achieved by the cable given payout and speed.
