  The Immortal Science of Dead Water: Effects of Internal Wave Drag on Propagating Submerged Bodies
  Author(s): Marco Danieletto, Justin M Brown* and Timour Radko
  
  Background: Drag evaluation and prediction are integral to maximizing the efficiency of nautical vehicles. Yet, the total force exerted by a fluid on a body is difficult to predict. One source of drag that remains poorly understood with significant effects for vessels traversing stratified waters is the dead-water phenomenon. It represents the dramatic increase in drag associated with internal waves created by the body itself. This phenomenon has been studied in the literature for surface and submerged vessels separately, but little attention has been given to directly comparing the two. Methods: Our research investigates the dead-water effects by comparing laboratory outcomes for both submerged and surface body experiments in stratified and unstratified fluids. To do this, we tow a cylindrical body with a constant force through a tank of wa.. View More»
