Abstract
The Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle is being built with an activated
roll stabilization system. The effectiveness of t his system is limited
by pump saturation. This investigation is concerned with improving the
roll stabilization of the DSRV through the use of a passive tank stabilizer.
A mathematical model for the tank system is developed and adapted
to the DSRV model. The passive system is extended to include two modes
of operation, each representing a separate tank frequency, which may be
selected by the operation of a valve. The passive system and the dual
mode system are simulated on an analog computer to determine their response
to transient disturbances .
