Influence on Stern Flaps in Resistance Performance of a Caterpillar Track Amphibious Vehicle

In order to reduce the resistance and increasing speed for a caterpillar track amphibious vehicle (CTAV), the stern flaps were applied and the influence was researched. Numerical simulations performed by STAR-CCM+ and model towing test reveal that stern flaps have greatly reduced the resistance, tri...
