This book shows how the engineering and architectural aspects of submarine design relate to each other, and describes the operational performance required of a vessel. The authors explain concepts of hydrodynamics, structure, powering and dynamics, in addition to architectural considerations that bear on the submarine design process. They pay particular attention to the interplay among these aspects of design, and devote a final chapter to the generation of the concept design for the submarine as a whole. Submarine design makes extensive use of computers, and the authors give examples of algorithms used in concept design. They provide engineering insight as well as an understanding of the intricacies of the submarine design process. The book will serve as a text for students and as a reference manual for practicing engineers and designers in marine and naval engineering.
Throughout the ages, many ingenious devices for going underwater were tried. Bushnell’s Turtle 1776 and Fulton’s Nautilus 1800 were attempts to beat the British blockade of ports by manned submersibles. Most of these earlier designs suffered from the lack of a suitable power plant and it was the development of the battery and internal combustion engine which began to make the submarine a reality as a practical vessel. Many different designs and configurations were tried, by inventors in different countries, that may lay claim to being ‘the first’. In this book, we are concentrating on design rather than history of development, but suggest that a designer, however experienced, would do well to study the early ideas. It may well be that what was impractical then has now become possible with modern technology and materials.
