Anything you'd like to know. No problem. From a practical perspective that is. My science on the subject is directly related to the day to day practical challenges involved in taking submarines & ROVs subsea.
What I was saying was the wave type induced by a hurricane is a sinusoidal waveform, at the surface. The effect of that waveform is felt down as far as 1/2 the distance between peaks of the wave form at the surface.
A wave isn't a single waveform in reality. It is a composite pattern of...
The inferred query in the original question seemed to be, was the effect of a wave (or wave system) a surface phenomenon or full water column depth phenomenon. The two instances given, being during a hurricane or a Tsunami. The two examples being perfect examples of each event. The Tsunami is...
Hello,
I am a new member of the Physics Forum. I was attracted to the forum by the discussions on Submarine issues, which is my interest & in fact my profession. I am looking forward to participating in your discussions in the future. Hopefully I can add input of worth & interest.
There are many commercial models of ROV & AUV on the market today. A few have used variable ballast systems such as you have described, but not very successfully. VB systems are only suited to larger models weighing in the tons, due to the weight of the equipment required to effect the...
The depth the effect of a wave will be felt when inside a submarine is equal to 1/2 the wave length of the wave on the surface. IE if the peak to peak distance of the wave at the surface is 100m, the effect of that wave will be felt down to 50m depth. The wave form of a 'wave' as in as found...
