基于升力线的OpenProp and CFD的AUV螺旋桨设计（英文）

A high-efficiency propeller can enable a long mission duration for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In this study,a new method with OpenProp coupled with computational fluid dynamics was developed to design a propeller for an Explorer100 AUV. The towed system simulation of the AUV was used to measure the nominal wake, and a self-propulsion simulation was used to measure the effective wake at the disc plane just in front of a propeller. Two propellers referring to the nominal wake (propelle...
