Characterizing Hydrodynamic Interactions of Underwater Vehicles in Close Proximity Using an Identical Ellipse Pair

The hydrodynamic interactions between two identical 6:1 ellipses in close proximity were investigated using a 2D immersed interface method simulator in a viscous, rotational flow at Re=1500. Interactions in tandem, side-by-side, and staggered arrangements were characterized based on changes to the d...
