Comparisons between seabed and free surface effects on underwater vehicle hydrodynamics

This paper presents a numerical study on the hydrodynamic coefficients of the DARPA SUBOFF hull when deeply submerged and near the seabed. The CFD-based model was validated with experimental data, namely experiments involving the SUBOFF and BB2 undergoing straight-ahead motion near the free surface...
