Simulations of the DARPA Suboff submarine and the submarine propeller E1619 using the overset flow solver CFDShip-Iowa V4.5 are presented. The hull was tested in a straight ahead simulation and also in a starboard turn. Propeller open water curves were obtained for two grids for a wide range of advance coefficients covering high to moderately low loads, and results compared with available experimental data. A verification study was perf...

Yes / This paper presents the results from laboratory experiments to investigate the protection of scour around submarine pipelines under unidirectional flow using a rubber plate placed underneath the pipes. The pressure difference on the two sides of the pipeline is the driving force to initiate the movement of sediment particles and can be obtained by force balance analysis. Experiments covering a wide range of incoming flow velocity, pipe diameter and plate length show that there exists a cri...

<p> The purpose of this study was to investigate multiple methods used to locate and identify sources of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) along the coastline of Santa Catalina Island (Catalina) in Los Angeles, California. The driving hypothesis is that SGD may be identified by higher temperature/lower salinity plumes. To test this hypothesis, temperature and conductivity measurements were made along the shoreline of Catalina and compared with previously collected airborne thermal infrared i...

The area can be conveniently subdivided into three regions from north to south: (i) Tidal Diamond's Concession (T.D.C.) f...

Immediately after the outbreak of the World War, Great Britain, France and Japan cut the German submarine cables which were situated in the different oceans of the world. The study of the submarine cables during the World War and its aftermath is a complex problem. To understand the post-war negotiations, previous international agreements, treaties and the ownership, operation and financing of the cables must be understood.

The Entente powers began World War I without any formal anti-submarine countermeasures. However, the Entente developed countermeasures through trial and error over time. Success was moderate until America joined the war. with America came the arrival of subchasers to the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. This highly specialized vessel helped turn the tide against U-boats. a true counter to the U-boat threat in the Mediterranean did not come until October 2, 1918 with the bombardment of Durazz...

Marine vessels designed to be self-propelled are generally unstable when towed. Submarines are not an exception; holding a course while towing a surfaced submarine is a challenging operation that often requires several tug boats or special methods. The Swedish navy’s submarine rescue vehicle URF, for example, is directionally unstable when being towed at lower speeds, and this report examines methods of improving URF’s course stability under these circumstances. An experimental evaluation was co...

The dynamics of a submarine detection system using neutrally buoyant inflated structural members is investigated with mathematical models representing increasing order of complexity. An appreciation of the flexural deflections of a single inflated viscoelastic cylindrical cantilever is first gained using the three parameter solid model. This is followed by its free vibration analysis in the presence of hydrodynamic forces and axial tension arising due to the internal pressure. The approximate so...

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) has been the subject of increasing amounts of research in the past decade. It is defined as the total mixture of seawater and fresh groundwater flowing out from the seabed, into the coastal water, through the underlying sediments. Since the early recognition of its ecological significance in the mid-1960's, numerous studies have been performed whose goal was its quantification. It has been studied using a variety of techniques. These include direct methods...

Fibre optic telecommunication cables laid across the seaoor are buried in shallow water depth (<2000m) for protection against hazards arising from commercial shing and shipping activity. The cables are buried in a trench created by a sea plough, often jet assisted and towed from a ship, or by a ROV with jet legs straddling the cable and uidising the soil around it. Recent trends in the industry require more versatile burial tools, so a sound understanding of their fundamental mechanics is requir...
