Abstract

Underwater vehicles are widely used in both military and civilian operations for more than 60 years. They are the best tools to perform dull, dangerous and dirty tasks in the water. So the distribution principles of static pressure and stress along the vehicle hull must be found out when designing hull shape and choosing the materials. The static pressure and stress on an underwater hull is simulated in this paper by using CFD commercial software ANSYS Fluent. The obtained principles are useful for future research.
