Abstract

Based on the solution of Laplace equation in parallel using FVM with unstructured hybrid mesh, the paper studies the calculation of added mass for underwater vehicle. The method is accurate and efficient, which is applicable to both simple shape bodies and complex shape bodies with large curvature and sharp edges. First, the added mass of sphere is calculated using two grids, tetrahedron grid and tetrahedron/prism hybrid grid. It is shown that the calculation results agree with the theoretical results very well. Then, as an engineering application, the added mass coefficients of a suspended platform in unbounded domain are calculated, it is verified in the underwater sea trial.
