Submarine Design

[karabacak]

Hello,

I am wrting this mail from Turkey. We are the last year students of Istanbul Technical University Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering Department. We are thinking about design a submersible for a competition that organised The Chamber of Turkish Naval Architects & Marine Engineers. We need proffesional help about our project especially for submerged devices stabilty. Can you help us about this way?


Best Regards,

Are you sure Huseyin you want a Multihull submarine?




Nothing amazes me in Turkey................

I thing I wanna design mono hull I think I wanna a submerged plane

Put one hull inside the other, then you have a place for ballast tanks.

Search the internet could not find anything on this competition

What are the rules for this competition, intended application(s) or mission statement for this submersible?

"especially for submerged devices stabilty"

Intrinsic (inherent) stability, dive planes and hydrodynamic design should provide you with submerged stability.

I'd be more concerned with surface instability, as this is where problems more often occur.

I checked out the link, I am sorry I only know English.

Enclosure 2 of the above discuss stabilty of a submersible both on the surface and submerged.

I always thought a sailing trimaran sub would be cool. Amas on the surface, and the sub part would be foil shaped and submersed in the main hull position. Probably require the central section to be mostly flooded, still the idea would be to have the combination of sailing and underwater situation in one craft.

There are plans out there for such a rig. Have a look on the Internet.

Let me know if you can't find it and I can help.

Do you mean something like this:

[Submarine Tom]

That's the one!

Good going Darth.

I know a local guy who started building this but quit almost half way in.

karabacak,

Give us a little more to work with here.

Power source? Size? Safety requirements? Buoyancy? Control surfaces?

Earthquake resistance?

Stability's the easy part...

What have you got so far?

Submarine Tom
Ma aim is designigning a submerged plane.
I wanna use just dynamic dive for going deep
I thing I wanna use gas trıbunes and being as fast as possible than going underwater.
and th emain thing about this project I wanna develop my self on submarines...

karabacak,

Okay, well we have a similar dream.

So does this guy, check out his web-site.

He has lots of money!

He hopes for 25 knots but I can't see how he's going to get more than 15!
