Submarine geomorphology
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Submarine geomorphology underwent significant development in the second half of the twentieth century, largely thanks to advances in technology by the military, navigation and hydrocarbon industry, which were later transferred to the academic and commercial sectors. In this chapter we summarize the development of the key methods used in submarine geomorphology between 1950 and 2000, which include sidescan sonar, multibeam echo sounder, reflection seismology, seafloor sampling and marine robotic systems. We then highlight the progress in our understanding of seafloor processes and landforms made using these methods, focusing on continental shelf landforms, slope instability, submarine canyons, submarine fans and channels, and current-controlled landforms.

Method to Control Unsteady Force of Submarine Propeller Based on the Control of Horseshoe Vortex
The submarine propeller works in the submarine wake with severe circumferential nonuniformity, which causes the hydrodynamic force to act on the blade. This results in severe oscil...
