Computation of Forces and Moments of Undersea Vehicles with Non-Body-of-Revolution Hull

Abstract

The hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on undersea vehicles with non-body-of-revolution hull forms moving in deep water have been computed using a panel method. The method of using a distribution of source singularities is applied to compute forces and moments on the body. The separation angles in the cross-flow direction are assumed to be known. The computed forces and moments are compared with available experimental data. The agreement between the computation and experiment is very good.
