Abstract

Nowadays, the autonomous underwater vehicle is applied worldwide. It can be applied in the field of remote sensing, oceanographic research, environmental control, territorial protection. The ability to automatically control and flexibly react to the autonomous underwater vehicle has been affirmed in the role of submarine industrial base development. In this trend, the study investigates on simulating the effect of fluid flow on the profile of an autonomous underwater vehicle by computational fluid dynamics method. The numerical results indicate that an autonomous underwater vehicle profile determines the drag and the largest stress occurs at the head of autonomous underwater vehicle when it moves. In addition, the effect of the wing profile on the drag and rotation angle of the autonomous underwater vehicle is also explored in this study.
