Abstract
To understand the behaviour of a submarine under the influence of surface waves at the early stages of design, the impact on whole boat design, from the perspective of the hydrodynamic shape of the hull, internal arrangements, performance requirements of ballast tanks and pumps and the requirements of control surfaces, a suitable design tool and analysis process is required. The thesis includes outcomes from different engineering disciplines; principally, naval architecture (particularly the specialised areas of submarine hydrodynamics and ocean engineering) and control engineering. The thesis particularly draws upon research from the area of ocean engineering, specifically in the methods of quantifying second order effects, to bring insights into control system design for the problem of submarine control under waves. This is achieved by providing a potential approach for developing control system specifications in reflection of the available assessment methods.
