This was standard fare when I went through as a student and much later when I instructed in the Navy advanced jet program. We called the exercises Basic Instrument exercises because they formed the foundation for the rest of instrument flying. Mostly we used the S patterns, primarily S-2 and S-3 patterns involving standard rate turns combined with standard climb/descent rates at constant airspeed.
A similar maneuver, but with changing speeds.
