Water brakes combine high power ratings with a low moment of inertia and in case of high power ratings they are a good alternative to other braking systems. Despite these advantages water brakes are not widely used in dynamic testing as their nonlinearities make them hard to control. Mathematical models of hydrodynamic dynamometers are presented in this paper. A first principles approach is compared...
