Simulation Study of a Modular Escape Capsule Released from a Submerged Submarine.

摘要

The hydrodynamic behavior of a submarine escape capsule during the separation and ascent phase was analyzed and simulated in a real-time digital system called MODSEC - MODular Submarine with Escape Capsule. The MODSEC system can simulate the behavior of a submarine with a forward escape capsule as the submarine sustains damage, the capsule separates, ascends to the surface, and floats on the surface awaiting rescue. Variables under user control are length/diameter ratio, length of submarine, length of capsule, casualty size and location, initial velocity, initial trim angle, sea state, weight distribution.
