Design and optimization of a bio-inspired hull shape for AUV by surrogate model technology

This paper proposes a bio-inspired hull shape (BHS) for AUV by studying and modeling the body shape of humpback whales. Among factors affecting hydrodynamic characteristics, this paper considers both the hull drag and displacement volume to optimize the BHS, which profitably improve the space utiliz...
