Computational Fluid Dynamics Study of Magnus Force on an Axis-Symmetric, Disk-Type AUV with Symmetric Propulsion

In this paper, the Magnus force induced by a disk-type, spinnable autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), i.e., autonomous underwater helicopter (AUH), was predicted to promote the spinning AUH moving away from a deep-sea region with temporary and shockable ocean current. The simulation technique of th...
