This paper aims to design a low-cost underwater glider to operate in shallow water. The proposed design was developed by manufacturing engineering software. Analysis of the hull using manufacturing engineering software and 3D computer-aided design (CAD). The analysis of hydrodynamics using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This glider was designed to operate in shallow water, coastal, lake and river for a maximum depth of 10 m and a maximum speed of current 12,96 km/h, or 3,6 m/s. To reduce and minimize the cost to manufacture this underwater glider, the mechanics, electrical, electronics, and power source were using common tools on the market, not on demand. Based on numerical model, the hull pressure had 30,127 psi or 0,2077162 MPa for maximum depth 10 m and max speed 12,96 km/h. Maximum pressure occurs on the nose and behind the wings. This unmanned vehicle was designed to be in 9 compartments. The first compartment and 8th compartment are used for ballast tanks. The others for: mechanics of ballast system, altimeter and attitude controller, payload, battery pack, main controller part, propulsion system, and propulsor.
The beauty of the beach and underwater of Bangsring beach make this beach one of the leading destinations in Banyuwangi Regency. However, until today how to enjoy the beauty of the underwater can exclusively be done by diving or snorkeling, which is quite troublesome and exhausting, especially for tourists who want to enjoy and looking entertainment in a simpler way. So the concept of bottom-glass in this design is offered as a problem solving in this study, while the concept of flat plate and flat-bottom is carried out to efficiently time and cost of shipbuilding, because with this flat plate concept, there is no rolling and other material bending process. The design of the main dimensions is made based on owner requirements are obtained based on field study and literature studies, then the main parameters are obtained (LOA = 12 m, total B = 5.6 m, B each hull = 0.94 m, hull spacing = 3.72 m, T = 0.7 m, H = 1.85 m, Vs = 10 knots). To maximize the design, 4 ship models were designed with these primary parameters, based on the analysis of resistance using Maxsurf Resistance, model 4 with a maximum resistance of 4.3 kN was chosen which tend to be more effective compared with the designs of model 1, model 2, and model 3 which has a maximum resistance of 8 kN, 4.9 kN and 5.3 kN. The results of the stability analysis carried out in this design with the load case 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, and 20%, has met all requirements for intact stability IMO MSC.36 (63) for HSC multihull Annex 7.
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.
