Subsurface Buoy Forms for Array Applications
1990
Patterson, R. E.
This is a review of possible methods of constructing an apex buoy to be deployed as subsurface support for underwater pyramidal arrays. Several categories of buoy construction are presented, with an investigation of the mathematical expressions necessary to derive shape, size, weight, and net buoyancy. Selection of nominal probable buoy sizes based on studies done by others using the Navy owned computer program 'D-CEL' was made in the report development. Some cost data are summarized for buoyancy materials and devices available from commercial sources. Appendixes include spreadsheet calculations for various buoy shapes that lend themselves to construction as metal shell voids capable of operation at the selected water depth.
