Shape optimization of an autonomous underwater vehicle with a ducted propeller using computational fluid dynamics analysis

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) provide a useful means of collecting detailed oceano-graphic information. The hull resistance of an AUV is an important factor in determining the power requirements and range of the vehicle. This paper describes a procedure using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CF...
