Design, Modeling, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)

Öz

This study comprehensively addresses the design and modeling processes of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The research examines the fundamental design principles that affect underwater vehicle performance, focusing on factors such as hydrodynamic efficiency, structural durability, buoyancy control, and stability. Considering the harsh marine environment, the selection of materials was thoroughly discussed based on criteria such as mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and weight optimization. The production stages, from 3D modeling to manufacturing, were explained step by step. Engineering challenges encountered during the design process—such as waterproofing, stability, and balance—were emphasized, and solution approaches to these problems were presented. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses were employed to evaluate the hydrodynamic performance of the vehicle and to optimize the body geometry. Finally, based on the analysis results and design iterations, solution strategies and development suggestions were proposed, aiming to guide future studies in the development of autonomous underwater vehicles.
