Design - DESIGN003 - Hydrodynamic Design and Optimization of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Hull

Context and Objective:

• Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are used for underwater exploration, inspection, and surveillance. This project explores how product design can improve AUV performance, focusing on hull design and geometry to promote water flow and reduce hydrodynamic drag, and to develop a functional architecture accommodating propulsion systems, batteries, sensors, and electronic equipment.

Main Tasks:

• Benchmark existing AUVs.
• Study hydrodynamic principles applied to hull design.
• Explore geometries and shapes that promote water flow.
• Study the influence of shape on hydrodynamic drag, stability, and maneuverability.

Candidate profile, deliverables, and tools consistent with Design track standards.
