Abstract
According to the high cost and tedious work of model test method for fluid’s velocity issue around Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), this paper has found out the convenient simulation way by building the relationship of simulation results for AUV with rotating propeller and that with stationary propeller. Under different flow velocity and propeller speed conditions, hydrodynamic simulation for a small AUV model has been carried out to establish the relationship of drag coefficient for the two conditions mentioned above. The result demonstrates that margin of drag coefficient under the two conditions tends to be a fixed value. The analysis of actual running resistance of small AUV can be obtained only by studying that of stationary one base on the result. Numerical simulation method can be well used in the fluid’s velocity analysis instead of the model test method.
