An Inventory of Some Force Producers for Use in Marine Vehicle Control.

Abstract

This report is a collection of information about the force-producing capabilities and characteristics of some hydrodynamic devices that could possibly be used for the control of submarine or surface ships. Emphasis is on the variety of concepts available for this purpose, something about the physical nature of how each device operates, and descriptions of the forces attainable. Out of all the devices considered, a preliminary judgment is formed of those devices that seem most likely to be of use in the immediate future. (Author)
