Analysis of the Effect on the Thrust Force as a Result of Positioning Thrusters at Different Angles in Underwater Vehicles in CAD Environment

Abstract

The need for underwater vehicles, especially unmanned underwater vehicles, is increasing in the world and in our country which is surrounded by seas on three sides. Unmanned underwater vehicles; It can be used in many areas such as ocean exploration, search & rescue, military - industrial applications and its usage areas are expanding day by day. Unmanned underwater vehicles are an attractive option for underwater search, research and survey operations, as they are low cost compared to manned vehicles. In this article, a detailed vehicle design has been created and analyzed using the computer-aided design program SOLIDWORKS. With these analyses, the effects of the angle of the engines positioned in unmanned underwater vehicles on speed, time, thrust force and precise positioning parameters will be explained by 2 simulation studies. The first of the simulations is to explain the data obtained as a result of positioning the thrusters on the body at angles of 45 degrees, in the other simulation, the data obtained as a result of positioning the thrusters on the body at angles of 90 degrees. According to computer modeling, it has been observed that the angle of The positioned thrusters directly affects maneuverability and thrust force. It has been observed that a vehicle positioned at an angle of 90 ° should be preferred in applications requiring gain from speed and time, and a vehicle positioned at an angle of 45 ° should be preferred in applications requiring precise positioning. In conclusion, in this study, it is defined how the thrusters positioning should be in order for the unmanned underwater vehicle designed to meet the requirements of a user to be the most efficient and suitable vehicle for the desired environment of mobility.
