Submarine Definition and 80 Threads

In conductive media like seawater, EM waves experience attenuation related to their frequency. The skin depth formula calculates the depth at which ##e^{-1}## attenuation is reached. The skin depth is inversely proportional to frequency. In practical terms, only extremely low frequencies (eg 80...

I'm trying to figure out how I would calculate the rate at which a submarine (or any vaguely cylindrical object) ascends or descends in seawater given a certain buoyancy or change in buoyancy. For example, if my submarine is 2000 feet below sea level and weighs 393 metric tons (with empty...

I've read a lot about Gato / Balao / Tensch class submarines, the ones America used in WWII, and I can't seem to sort out the specific consequences of a dead battery. A lot of you are diesel experts, so maybe someone here knows? Historical accounts are vague. Dead batteries are certainly a big...

Hi, I was watching the following video. Around 17:00 the following is said: I tried to balance the chemical equation as presented in the video. Please have a look below. I don't see how the production of iron oxide yields more oxygen in the entire reaction. The heating of sodium chlorate...

Dear FEA experts, I'm trying to model the mechanical behavior (static, modal, and buckling analyses) of an underwater floating structure (e.g. submarine capsule or buoy) under hydrostatic pressure by Finite Element Analysis. To obtain feasible results, the structure should be modeled as freely...

I've often wondered how realistic the Seaquest DSV submarine design was. Here are some attachments I've included: https://www.pinterest.fr/pin/326651779206382460/ I would imagine that having windows on the sub would represent structural weakness and it's overall flatness design would make...

How deep can a submarine volcanic vent be and still generate a significant pumice raft ? Sadly, Wiki is a stub, and most of the relevant literature is pay-walled. As I understand it, deep vents may generate a lot of pumice, but it never reaches the surface, just stays on the vent's flanks...

Here is a scenario to further explain. Let's say I am traveling inside of a submarine. I travel within a depth of 100 to 600 feet deep or 4 to 19 atmospheres. How would I and my submarine be affected if there were a hurricane, tsunami, or hurricane above the ocean. Furthermore, does the...

How do nuclear submarines (and also newer technologies such as air independent propulsion submarines) get rid of the waste heat generated by their power plants given the high pressure environment they work in and their need for stealth?

Submarines that had lead acid batteries and were depth charged during WW1 or WW2 sometimes produced chlorine gas inside the submarine. Was that because; 1. Broken batteries leaked sulphuric acid into the bilges where sea water with NaCl had accumulated, or; 2. Leaking seawater flooded the...

I'm working on the design for a dry-hull model submarine. My plan is to cast the hull shape that I want out of aluminum because this type of casting is cheap, easy to make, and because aluminum has a good strength to weight ratio. I want the hull to be able to withstand an external pressure of...

Supplee's submarine paradox arises when you consider a submarine moving horizontally at relativistic speeds. (Never mind that this would obviously destroy the sub.) When at rest, the sub was neutrally buoyant. In the moving sub's frame, the water is more dense, so buoyancy is increased, and the...

I was browsing the 1998 STEP paper 3 (like you do) and come across a question related to a real intelligence gathering problem. It has some simplifications and probably invalid assumptions, but is still quite interesting. The question is: I don't intend to solve this since the only question...
