Özet:

In this study, the variation of the GM (Metacentric Height) and BG (Vertical Distance

between the Center of Buoyancy and the Center of Gravity of the Submerged Submarine)

values for submarines of different displacement is investigated using a generic submarine

geometry. For this the intact and damaged stability characteristics of the generic

submarine BB2 Joubert are carried out in surfaced and submerged conditions. The BB2

Joubert submarine geometry is a generic submarine model geometry which is extensively

used in submarine hydrodynamic studies. In the literature there are various experimental

and computational studies on manoeuvring, resistance, and propulsion where generic

submarine geometries are used. However submarine stability studies are very limited in

the open literature and there is no examples for the application of submarine intact and

damaged stability rules on a submarine. So, the aim of this study is to generate a sample

tank arrangement plan for a generic submarine and to conduct the stability analysis

according to the DNV Submarine Rules. The original BB2 Joubert submarine is 70.13 m.

long and has a depth of 10.6 m. in full scale. In the open literature a simple general

arrangement plan is proposed for the submarine. At the beginning of the study the

pressure hull design, tank arrangement and tank capacities are determined according to

the suggested general arrangement plan of the full scale submarine. Weight estimation is

made according to the submerged condition of the submarine to reach the neutral stability

condition. The main ballast tank capacities are designed so that the %10 reserve buoyancy

limit is reached. The vertical center of gravity is determined in the submerged condition

as a limit of the vertical centre of gravity (KG) value. The stability analysis is made

according to the Stability Rules of DNV (Det Norske Veritas) for Submarines Edition

January 2018 with the use of a commercial stability software AVEVA Marine. Eight

different loading conditions are investigated in the intact and damaged stability analysis

for one water density. Four loading conditions are defined for the surfaced condition and

four loading conditions are defined for the submerged condition. The righting lever and

heeling levers due to free liquid surface, turning circle and wind are defined and the

required remaining righting levers are examined. After the examination of the full scale

submarine three other submarine geometries are created, namely 30 m., 48 m. and 100 m.

Stability analysis for the other scaled geometries are conducted in the same methodology

as for the full scale submarine for the same tank arrangements. Since DNV rules suggest

different GM and BG values for submarines of different displacement, a formula to

calculate the KG value in dependence of the submarine displacement is suggested for the

use in the early design phase of a submarine.
