Calculations on Forces and Velocities of a Submarine Narrow Trench Plough in Sandy Soil
Demand for submarine cables for exporting the energy from wind farms to shore is increasing. To prevent damage to the cables when exposed on the sea bed, adequate protection is critical, but current calculation methods are usually empirically extrapolated. To better predict towing forces, a new calculation method is given.
