Definition
Hydrodynamic design of a submersible is the prediction of hydrodynamic performance and shape optimization through theoretical analyses, numerical calculations, or/and physical experiments. The hydrodynamic calculation runs through all design stages of a submersible, but it is of significant importance during the concept design. Hydrodynamic coefficients and propulsion efficiency are the most important factors affecting the hydrodynamic performance which is one of key technical indicators of submersibles.
Scientific Fundamentals
Hydrodynamic Performance
In general, hydrodynamic performance for a submersible includes the performance of speed, maneuverability and seakeeping. They are closely related to the main elements, profile, general layout and navigation control of the submersible, and have an important impact on the safety, reliability, economy, and applicability of the submersible (Allmendinger 1990...
