This paper presents experimental results and derived experimental equations to investigate the turbulent wake characteristics generated by the self-propelled SUBOFF submarine model. A self-propelled SUBOFF model which was assumed as an axial-symmetric body was used to create wake, and a thin strut was mounted on the topside of the model. The experiments were conducted in a circulating water channel(CWC), and the hot-film was used to measure the turbulence in wake cross-section at the distance range of 0.0~2.0L from the model. The hot film anemometer measured turbulent velocity fluctuations, and the time-averaged mean velocity and turbulent intensity are obtained from the acquired time-series data. Measured results show well the general characteristics of turbulent intensity, kinetic energy and mean velocity distribution. Also, this paper presents derived experimental equations, which is extended result to the reference [1]. These experimental equations show well the general characteristics of the turbulent wake behind the self-propelled submerged body.
