Submarine melt can account for substantial mass loss at tidewater glacier termini. However, the processes controlling submarine melt are poorly understood due to limited observations of submarine termini. Here at a tidewater glacier in central West Greenland, we identify subglacial discharge outlets and infer submarine melt across the terminus using direct observations of the submarine terminus...

SUMMARY This paper provides a deep insight into fault location on long Submarine Power Cables. Several field results on submarine power cable faults are provided. For land cables the main focus is on the electrical and thermal design of cable insulation and on the electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical design of cable accessories, in order to grant sufficient endurance performances and reliabili...

This paper outlines a practical design approach for submarine subsystems using a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodology. At the core of this approach is a system model that provides a precise, consistent, traceable and integrated description of the submarine subsystem architecture. The system model is used to support the flow-down of requirements from the submarine missions to syste...

Three types of connectors utilized in charging submarine escape appliances in simulated submarine escapes were evaluated with respect to speed of disconnect in a dry environment. Statistically significant differences in disconnect time were found between the various types of connectors, however, the magnitude of these differences is so small that they are of no practical significance in the sub...

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, there has been widespread construction of submarine oil-gas transmission pipelines due to an increase in offshore oil exploration. Vessel anchoring operations are causing more damage to submarine pipelines due to shipping transportation also increasing. Therefore, it is essential that the influence of anchoring on the required burial depth of sub...

Submarine escape training for submarine personnel has been conducted by the U. S. Navy since 1930. By 1957, more than 250,000 ascents had been recorded. Most casualties due to this traininginvolved extra-alveolar air and/or embolism, and those few casualties which have occurred had usually been recorded and reported. In view of this, several questions were asked, among them one concerning the i...

The arrangement design of a submarine depends on the past design data and experts’ experiences. Delay in design can occur due to data missing or the absence of experts. In addition, various compartments and equipment are placed on the limited space called pressure hull in the submarine, so that the relation between the compartments and equipment should be considered carefully when designing the...

The paper discusses architectural options for providing Dominant Battlespace Awareness (DBA) for Archipelagic Anti-Submarine Warfare (AASW) in the Baltic Sea, against experience from submarine intelligence data analysis and fusion research during the recent historical episode which involved recurrent submarine intrusions into Swedish

Starting in 2009, MTU began combining the properties of its existing successful submarine solutions for all customers’ submarine designs with new market requests from submarine building shipyards. The resulting product specification was then augmented with the modern submarine requirements (partly described on the following pages). In 2011, the detailed concept study for these functional and pe...
