5. Lecture notes: Submarines, AUV – UUV and ROV • Notes includes web links, some may be rotten, some may be static and a few good ones are dynamic • If you know of other web sites that have relevant content on subsea vehicles, send me an e-mail • One vehicle will be used as a reference case for AUVs (HUGIN 3000) • Reference case for ROVs will be based on MIRANDA 7500 (NTNU’s own ROV)

11. SHEFEX recovery mission • During a sounding rocket campaign at Andøya Rocket Range in October 2005 the 300 kg payload SHEFEX was lost • Estimated impact zone was 70,3443 North and 12,1508 East • Water depth at impact zone is approximately 2700 m • Prepare a plan for the recovery mission

12. Lecture form • Presentations • Buzz groups • Short questions • 2-3 minutes discussions • Oral presentation of buzz group results (keyword form)

13. Nomenclature • SNAME H-10 Panel • ITTC standard notation for manoeuvring • Forces and moments: X,Y,Z K, M, N • Yv force coefficient for sway speed • Yvv is sway force due to sway speed, a linear damping force due to angle of attack of the vehicle • A more compact notation can be obtained by using a vector/matrix formulation of the equations of motion

14. Axis systems • Earth fixed system • Vehicle fixed system • Right handed system • X-axis forward • Z-axis downwards • Positive deflection of control flaps/rudders are clockwise

15. Buzz groups Question 1 • Inwhat layers of the ocean space are each of the vehicle types used? • Manned submarine • AUV • ROV

16. Buzz groups Q1 answer: • Manned submarines: • 300 m waterdepth ( large military ones operates at larger depths) • 11000 m extreme pressure vessel design (Trieste), sea space exploration • 3000 m exploration of sea bed

17. Buzz groups Q1 answer: • AUVs • 500 meters • Military use, mine search 150-200 m • Offshore, mapping 3000 – 4000 m

18. Buzz groups Q1 answer: • ROVs • Use close to structures • Not used in the wave zone • Depth limited by umbilical, down to 1000m? • Near the bottom, 1000 – 5000m

19. Flow characteristics for standard operations • Submarine in transit • Streamlined body • Mostly turbulent flow • Constant transit speed • Small perturbations, i.e. Sway/yaw/heave/pitch/roll speeds and angles of control planes • Close to surface (periscope depth), in the wave zone • Close to the seabed (interaction effect?)b

20. Flow characteristics for standard operations • AUV • Streamlined body • Constant transit speed • Small perturbations, i.e. Sway/yaw/heave/pitch/roll speeds and small angles of control planes Or: • Zero/very low speed • Large angles of attack from current • Thrusters for hovering/position keeping

21. Flow characteristics for standard operations • ROV • Non-streamlined body • Mostly turbulent flow due to separation on edges • Low speed • Large angles of attack; have to be able to operate in cross current • Different characteristics for up and down motion • Complex flow due to interacting thrusters • Umbilical drag can be high for operations at large depths • Tether management system can be used to remove umbilical induced motion of ROV

22. Types of submarines • Military submarines • Norway Ula class (dimensions?) • Typhoon type • Viking project – Nordic submarine • Cargo carrying submarines • Bulk carriers (coal, LNG, oil) • Intervention vehicles for subsea oil and gas production • Russian Lazurit project • Tourist submarines • Tropical waters • Amusement parks

23. Buzz groups Question 2 • Discuss why no submarine bulk carriers have been realized? • Groups 1, 3, 5, … • Discuss why non of the concepts for subsea oil and gas production submarines have been realized? • Groups 2, 4, 6, ….

24. Buzz group Q2 answer: • Bulk carriers • Great risks, consequences if something happens (rescue) • Environmental problems, especially if nuclear powered • More power then for surface vessels due to larger wet surface (for large slow speed bulk carriers 80-90% of resistance is viscous) • Load carrying capacity restricted due to increased steel weight • Too expensive to build and operate (high quality steel, redesign of shipyards, scraping costs, ….) • Separate terminals, high investment costs • Complex loading/unloading systems • Maintenance process must be modified • No need for this solution for ice free waters

25. Buzz group Q2 answer: • Submarines for oil and gas subsea structure installation and maintenance • No advantages compared to ROVs • Not useful as diver platform for large depths • High costs, both for vessel design/production and initial structure design to fit capacities of submarine • No oil company is willing to be first user of a system based on submarine intervention

26. Submarine summary • Submarines are hydrodynamically well designed • Commercial use of submarines is at present no alternative for subsea oil and gas production • Development of military submarines will continue, but not at the same level as before • Submarines for tourism will expand • Manned vehicles will be used for exploration of the ocean space

27. Submarine motion equations • 6 degrees of freedom equations • Time domain formulation • Simplified sets of linear equations

28. EUCLID Submarine project MARINTEK takes part in a four years multinational R&D programme on testing and simulation of submarines, Euclid NATO project “Submarine Motions in Confined Waters”. Study topic: Non-linear hydrodynamic effects due to steep waves in shallow water and interaction with nearby boundaries.
