Investigation on the turbulence model for resistance calculation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) with the typical Myring shape is presented in this paper using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Resistance calculations of the 3D viscous flow over an AUV model are made by solving RANS equations with different viscous models. Comparison with experiments indicates that the SST k-ω two-equation viscous model is the most appropriate model for the resistance prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
