Definition

Hydrodynamic performance is one of the most important performances of AUV/ROV/HOV; the economy, practicability, and safety of submersible can be affected directly by its advantages and disadvantages. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important method to research the hydrodynamic performance of submersible. It is a systematic analysis of physical phenomena including fluid flow through computer numerical computation and image display. The flow can be numerical simulated by the CFD under the control of the basic equation of the flow. The distribution of physical quantities at various positions in the flow field of extremely complex problems and the changes of these physical quantities with time can be obtained through the numerical simulation. The flow field of submersible can be obtained in CFD results, laying a good foundation for the further optimization of submersible designs.
