Design and development of an autonomous underwater vehicle

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used in this report to determine the hydrodynamic characteristics and operating points of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) design. The effect of thrusters was simulated using a momentum source term, and its effect was tested using two computational models...
