Abstract Submarine maneuverability has been analyzed by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This approach provides an alternative, accurate,
and cost-effective method for simulating actual flow. The numerical results show
that the numerical simulation of the viscous flow related to a moving submarine
based on the RANS equation with a relevant turbulence model can not only provide rich flow field details such as flow separation, but also accurately predict its
hydrodynamic performance. The present study indicates that CFD can be used to
forecast the submarine’s maneuverability in the initial design stage. The present
results will be used in the future as… More >
