 ABSTRACT
In this study, a numerical method has been developed for modeling
underwater welding. The geometry used in the study is a three-dimensional
thick rectangular plate. Transient heat conduction in the plate has been
calculated numerically including a point heat source simulating the arc and
convective, radioactive and boiling surface boundary conditions. Finite
volume method has been used as the numerical scheme. A variable mesh
size centereda round the moving heat source has been used in the
calculations. The validity of the results was checked by comparison with
some solutions in the literature. Welding is an unavoidable process of
modern engineering civil, electrical, mechanical, automobiles, marine
aeronautical in all branches. It is used in fabrications and erections in
infrastructures and installations. It joins metals or thermoplastics. Forming a
pool of molten mass the weld puddle and allowing it to cool to become a
strong joint is the basis of the process of welding. For repairing to be carried
out underwater, there is a separate process. That is called underwater
welding. If damaged ships are to be repaired, underwater welding is the
basic technology to be used. It is a highly-specialized profession more
employed in the oil or shipping industry and also in the defense operations.

Underwater welding can be classified as

1) Wet Welding

2) Dry Welding

In wet welding the welding is performed underwater, directly exposed to the

wet environment. In dry welding, a dry chamber is created near the area to
be welded and the welder does the job by staying inside the chamber.
