  • SUBMERSIBLE APPARATUS AND METHODS OF INSTALLING ANCHORING EQUIPMENT
    Publication number: 20140023441
    Abstract: The invention relates to a submersible module for anchoring equipment, such as underwater turbines, to the sea bed. The module includes a base member for attaching the equipment thereto and a boundary layer fairing which diverts a boundary layer component of the water flow over the module. This accelerates the boundary layer water flow over the module in order to produce a hydrodynamic anchoring force on the module. Methods of installing the equipment to the sea bed are also provided.
