THE ANALYSIS OF IMMERSION MOVEMENT OF REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE
Abstract
Approximately 2/3 Earth surface is covered with water in form of lakes, rivers, seas or oceans. In the recent years, more and more countries have focused and develop the possibility to operate technology and resource exploitation in deep and shallow water. This underwater vehicle helps to improve the ability to inspect and image the seafloor, ensuring a higher resolution of seafloor mapping data. The underwater vehicles may be divided into two types: remotely operated vehicle (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). As opposed to AUVs, which are like the conventional submarines in many aspects, ROVs have different geometries. This is the reason why it is more difficult to analyze the hydrodynamics of ROVs. This paper presents a CFD analysis for an underwater vehicle in submergence, using AnsysCFX and Solidworks to make the vehicle`s graphic design.
