Mar 23, 2023 · In ship engineering and application, a sonar dome resembles a bulbous bow and both are equipped in the similar location of a ship’s bow. However, their functionalities and design concerns are different. The bulbous bow is generally above the …

a bow dome sonar array is a sonar sensor that is mounted on the hull of a ship or submarine and protected by an acoustically transparent window or ellipsoidal dome. See, for...

Collins Aerospace has designed, developed and produced every wire rubber sonar dome used on U.S. Navy ships. The use of rubber domes provides the U.S. Navy with superior sonar performance. Our RHO-COR® composite material system results in acoustic windows with exceptional structural properties.

A Naval ship, such a high speed Naval destroyer DDG-51 Flight I with an AN/SQS-53C sonar dome (hereafter the Naval destroyer) of the U.S. Navy, in contrast, has a relatively large...

Recently, the idea of bulbous bow has been extended from the commercial ships to the design of an integrated bow that houses a sonar dome for naval ships. In the present study, a design method...

The objective of this study is to design a hull-mounted sonar dome of a ship using OpenFOAM with a bulbous bow effect at cruise speed in calm water. Verification and validation for the original sonar dome simulation are conducted.

This document summarizes Dr. Cusanelli's paper on integrating a bulbous bow and sonar dome on naval destroyers. It aims to reduce ship resistance and improve propeller efficiency and cavitation performance.

Aug 17, 1992 · A Naval ship, such a high speed Naval destroyer DDG-51 Flight I with an AN/SQS-53C sonar dome (hereafter the Naval destroyer) of the U.S. Navy, in contrast, has a relatively large teardrop-shaped sonar dome at the bow for housing a sonar equipment.

In ship engineering and application, a sonar dome resembles a bulbous bow and both are equipped in the similar location of a ship’s bow. However, their functionalities and design concerns are...

Jan 1, 2005 · A new type of near-surface, small volume, hydrodynamic bow bulb was developed, and integrated into the existing combatant bow which houses a sonar dome.
