Hydrodynamic Design Requirements for the SANS Device.
Abstract
The hydrodynamic analysis of the Swimmer Acoustic Navigation System (SANS) device is presented. This analysis includes the design requirements necessary to achieve neutral buoyancy, static trim, and dynamic stability. Results of trim and ballast calculations are shown to be within 3 percent of the final measured values. The wing design necessary to achieve dynamic stability is shown to have a span of 7 inches, an area of 1.005 sq. ft., and an aspect ratio of 1.35. (Author)
