Stability Assessment of Submarines with Varying Length/Diameter Ratios in Both the Intact and Damage Conditions
Abstract
The aim of this research is to investigate longitudinal stability for submarines in the intact and damage conditions. The first part of this work will focus on identifying suitable computational tools for determination of the intact and damage conditions in the surfaced condition. A series of four different length/beam (L/B) ratios will be investigated. These candidate hull forms will then be subjected to departure and arrival loading conditions for the surfaced vessel. The models used for this study will be based on publicly available submarine characteristics. The results of the computational studied will be analyzed and trends will be identified. Lastly, a report on the findings of the study will be submitted to the POC at NSWC Carderock.
