Abstract:An innovative tourist submarine was studied by scale-model tests in a towing tank to determine its steering capabilities and detect motion instabilities during usual manoeuvres and emergency rising. Motion instabilities are caused by the combination of the submarine motions and the fluid flow, leading to excessive roll and pitch that can cause severe endangerment to passenger safety. The submarine model was built on a scale of 1:9. The model had six thrusters to conduct the tested manoeuvres, i.e., two main th… Show more
