Abstract：Towing cable is a device that tows on the tail of a vehicle for target detection,sensors such as water acoustics and optics are embedded in the cable in the form of a linear array to form a detection array,towing cable is a whiplash body with flexible large elongation,its hydrodynamic properties complex,it has a great impact on the power and maneuverability of the vehicle.This paper uses the centralized mass method to establish a motion model,the sporty posture and fluid resistance of the towed cable under different speed condition are simulated,the simulation results are given,and compared with the results of the real ship test,the re-sults show that simulation method is correct,simulation results are accurate,it can provide a theoretical reference for the overall de-sign of the vehicle and the optimization of the power system.
