Download or read book Hydrodynamic Towing Evaluation of SSN 637 Class Short Hull and Long Hull Submarines with Modified Bows written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental evaluation was conducted to investigate the surface towing characteristics of short-hull and long-hull SSN-637 Class submarines with modified bows. A 1/16.667-scale model was towed in the DTRC shallow-water towing basin, varying towpoint location, metacentric height (GM), displacement, trim and sternplane/rudder plate configuration. The short-hull and long-hull SSN-637 Class submarine with modified bow was towed in a stable configuration at speeds up to 10 knots (5.14 m/s) full-scale with the sternplanes set to 25 deg trailing edge up, at a trim of 6 ft (1.83 m) down by the stern, at either displacement, at either GM, with either towpoint, with a lower-rudder plate appendage attached.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental evaluation was conducted to investigate the surface towing characteristics of SSN-688 class submarines. A 1/22.5-scale model was towed in the David Taylor Model Basin with variations in displacement, trim, metacentric height (GM), towpoint location and with several stern appendage modifications. The SSN-688 class submarine was towed in a stable configuration at speeds up to 10 kn with the sternplanes set to 25 deg trailing edge up, at a trim between 6.0 and 7.5 ft (1.83 and 2.29 m) down by the stern, at a displacement between 5000 and 5650 LTSW, with a GM between 0.75 and 1.10 ft (0. 23 and 0.34 m), with the lower rudder extended 2.25 ft (0.69 m) and with a lower rudder plate appendage attached.

Download or read book Submarine Hydrodynamics written by Martin Renilson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adopts a practical approach and presents recent research together with applications in real submarine design and operation. Topics covered include hydrostatics, manoeuvring, resistance and propulsion of submarines. The author briefly reviews basic concepts in ship hydrodynamics and goes on to show how they are applied to submarines, including a look at the use of physical model experiments. The issues associated with manoeuvring in both the horizontal and vertical planes are explained, and readers will discover suggested criteria for stability, along with rudder and hydroplane effectiveness. The book includes a section on appendage design which includes information on sail design, different arrangements of bow planes and alternative stern configurations. Other themes explored in this book include hydro-acoustic performance, the components of resistance and the effect of hull shape. Readers will value the author’s applied experience as well as the empirical expressions that are presented for use at the preliminary design stage. A wide range of state-of-the-art material is included, and there are over fifty references to recent publications in the field. Intended for advanced students and professionals working in the specialised field of submarine hydrodynamics, this book brings theoretical and practical knowledge together in one comprehensive work that is particularly valuable to the submarine hydrodynamicist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secrets of the Submarine In a conversation with the Father of Ruth lessness, Admiral von Tirpitz, as late as the year 1911, the latter remarked that he was not at all certain that submarines were an essen tial part of Germany's naval programs. The author tried to convince him to the contrary. To-day, perhaps, it is just as well for us all that he did not succeed. Possibly this book will ex plain why von Tirpitz has since changed his mind.

Download or read book The Hydrodynamic Design and Evaluation of a Towed Instrumentation Vehicle written by R. K. Knutson and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hydrodynamic design approach and basin evaluation of a cable-towed vehicle are presented. The resulting body form reflects several features which were included to reduce cost of fabrication. The results of the basin evaluation indicate that the simplifying features did not significantly compromise the towing characteristics of the vehicle. The vehicle will perform satisfactorily at speeds substantially above the nominal design speed of eight knots. Furthermore, cable predictions, also presented herein, indicate that at eight knots the design operating depth of 250 feet will be achieved with slightly less than 500 feet of wetted cable length.

Download or read book Strategic Management of Marine Ecosystems written by Eugene Levner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for advanced management methods and tools for marine ecosystems is increasing worldwide. Today, many marine ecosystems are significantly affected by disastrous pollution from industrial, agricultural, municipal, transportational, and other anthropogenic sources. The issues of environmental integrity are especially acute in the Mediterranean and Red Sea basins, the cradle of modern civilization. The drying of the Dead Sea is one of the most vivid examples of environmental disintegration with severe negative consequences on the ecology, industry, and wildlife in the area. Strategic management and coordination of international remedial and restoration efforts is required to improve environmental conditions of marine ecosystems in the Middle East as well as in other areas. The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) held in Nice in October 2003 was designed to: (1) provide a discussion forum for the latest developments in the field of environmentally-conscious strategic management of marine environments, and (2) integrate expertise of ecologists, biologists, economists, and managers from European, American, Canadian, Russian, and Israeli organizations in developing a framework for strategic management of marine ecosystems. The ASI addressed the following issues: Key environmental management problems in exploited marine ecosystems; Measuring and monitoring of municipal, industrial, and agricultural effluents; Global contamination of seawaters and required remedial efforts; Supply Chain Management approach for strategic coastal zones management and planning; Development of environmentally friendly technologies for coastal zone development; Modeling for sustainable aquaculture; and Social, political, and economic challenges in marine ecosystem management.
