Figure 6 Graphical representation of results of sensitivity analysis showing percentage change in zigzag parameters due to ±50% change in HDCs


Figure 6 also shows that the total change in overshoot angle (θO) could be -200% to +225%, due to the sum of the effects of variation in each HDC by ±50%. However, as seen in Table 4, for simultaneous change of all HDC values by ±50%, simulated overshoot angle (θO) values change by -32% to +164%. For overshoot change of depth (zO), around 200% increase is expected in case of simultaneous reduction in all listed HDC values by 50%, as well as in the case of the sum of changes in individual HDCs.

axisymmetric body due to change in HDCs by ±50% 5.3 SENSITIVITY STUDIES - SUBOFF BODY


These studies were repeated for the submarine-like SUBOFF body, varying all HDCs varied


for


axisymmetric body, as well as Zq, again using the linear mathematical model (Model 3). Variation of HDC values


by ±50% from model test values was considered. Results of these sensitivity studies are summarised in Table 5. Only those HDCs which had an effect of more than 2% on the zigzag parameters have been included in the Table.


The most significant HDCs for the SUBOFF body simulation emerge as ,


Z ZM . It is thus seen that ws,  δ w


even for the same mathematical model, the body geometry has a significant influence on the relative importance of the HDCs.


The change in zigzag manoeuvre parameters due to HDC value variations does not exceed 21% when HDCs are varied one at a time. This is much lesser than the effect of variations in case of axisymmetric body. Even when all relevant HDCs are varied simultaneously by ±50% from original values, the variation in zigzag parameters is at most by 55% only. Although the magnitude of variation in actual terms is much greater, the percentage change is relatively less.

It is also seen that the parameters time to reach execute (te) and time to check pitch (tc) and depth (td) are relatively less influenced (about ±100%) by change in HDC values, as compared to the parameters θO and zO. The effect of change in trajectory of the body due to simultaneous change of ±50% in all listed HDCs is shown in Figure 7. The original response curves are in the middle, while quicker responses are for the case when HDCs were increased by 50%. Responses were delayed when all HDC values were reduced by 50%.
