Parametric Design and Optimization of the Profile of Autonomous Underwater Helicopter Based on NURBS

Autonomous Underwater Helicopter (AUH) is a disk-shaped Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), and it has comparative advantage of near-bottom hovering and whole-direction turn-around ability over the traditional slender AUV. An optimization design of its irregular geometric profile is essential to im...
