Influence of the Fins on the Static Stability of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

Fins, which are mounted at the rear of the underwater vehicles, have the action of stabilizing. X-fin and Cross-fin are two basic types of fins used in modern underwater vehicle. In the present paper, focused on the deep-sea autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) developed by Tianjin University, influence of types and mounting positions of fins on the static stability (STS) of the AUV is investigated. Results show that AUV with Cross-fin has better STS and the mounting position of fins is the key influence on STS of AUV.
