Drag reduction and power optimization due to an innovative, toroidal hull form of an AUV

چکیده

Abstract The use of unconventional design has become a norm for mission-specific underwater autonomous craft. Geometrical characteristics and drag optimized shapes single-hulled vehicles are known since 1970s few significant improvements have been possible then. These mostly related to the efficiency wake adapted propeller, positioned at stern in hull. In novel effort, when propeller is integrated into craft center-line, hull its entirety designed act as duct, further reduced. This uses toroidal form that distributes payload axi-symmetrically around an internal ducted thruster. operate economic cruise speed 2kn. power consumption achieve endurance over 500 miles through this implementation hydrodynamic new compared those reference which slender conventionally shaped. conventional intended same volume dimensions payload. A reduction 13% from first final iteration achieved. due higheer effective length thickness ratio AUV, quantified terms parameter defined I h . wetted surface area also contributes optimization. article shows shape leading edge becomes important low drag. process optimization using CFD, with most appropriate turbulence models detailed. beneficial effect acceleration induced flow trailing by thruster studied explained help CFD results.

Added Resistance of an AUV Moving Inside a Water Pipeline Due to Wall Proximity

This paper evaluates the added resistance of a torpedo shape AUV, moving inside a water pipeline, due to wall effects within the tube. Today, there are long length pipelines of water or petroleum that need to regular inspection. Early detection of failure will help to prevent breakdown and avoid the huge cost of an accident. As pipelines are enclosed environments and difficult to access, pipeli...

the aesthetic dimension of howard barkers art: a frankfurtian approach to scenes from an execution and no end of blame

رابطه ی میانِ هنر و شرایطِ اجتماعیِ زایش آن همواره در طولِ تاریخ دغدغه ی ذهنی و دل مشغولیِ اساسیِ منتقدان و نیز هنرمندان بوده است. از آنجا که هنر در قفس آهنیِ زندگیِ اجتماعی محبوس است، گسترش وابستگیِ آن با نهاد ها و اصولِ اجتماعی پیرامون، صرفِ نظر از هم سو بودن و یا غیرِ هم سو بودنِ آن نهاد ها، امری اجتناب ناپذیر به نظر می رسد. با این وجود پدیدار گشتنِ چنین مباحثِ حائز اهمییتی در میان منتقدین، با ظهورِ مکتب ما...
