Abstract: Using a 1:16-scale undistorted model, valuable engineering data on hydrodynamic forces acting on a submerged ocean-intake velocity cap were obtained for various ocean-wave conditions. This paper describes in detail the PC-based data-acquisition system developed in the study, which included wave gages, submersible pressure transducers, signal conditioners, and an analog-to-digital converter board attached to an IBM PC/AT-compatible computer.
