Investigation of CFD Method Simulating Hydrodynamic Performance of AUV with Complicated Shape

Article Preview

Abstract:

Analyze veracity and computing efficiency of direct route drag of axis symmetry revolution body with 2D Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method by comparing to the experiment data, discuss affection of different wall boundary functions to the results when calculating Automatic Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) hydrodynamic performance in CFD method. Find out characters of several meshing strategies when spring-based smooth dynamic model is adopted. Method with ball domain inside, which can simulate all the PMM tests and get reasonable outcome, turned out to be the best choice.
