Viscous-flow calculations for bare hull DARPA SUBOFF submarine at incidence

Abstract

As part of a multi-nation study regarding CFD validation, conducted by the Submarine Hydrodynamics Working Group, viscous-flow calculations on the unappended hull-form of the DARPA SUBOFF sailing straight ahead and at oblique motion were conducted in order to verify the accuracy of the predictions. The study shows good general agreement with the experiments for local field values as well as for global quantities.
