Simulating a Self-Propelled Submerged Body in a Coastal Ocean Hindcast Using the NRL-MIT Nonhydrostatic Model

Abstract

To enhance our ability to detect self-propelled submerged bodies (SSBs), e.g. submarines and AUVs at a distance. Little work has been done to improve our understanding of how we can sense changes in the environment caused by internal waves (IWs) and wakes generated by the passage of an SSB.
