Numerical investigation of a pair of self-propelled AUVs operating in tandem

This paper investigates the influence of the propeller race on upstream and downstream self propelled AUVs. Initially simulations of a self-propelled hull are performed at the Reynolds Number 3.2x10^6 with software commercial RANS code ANSYS CFX 12.1, utilising a body force model to replicate the im...
