Abstract

The underwater cleaning robot has a complex structure with numerous modules, and studying its hydrodynamic characteristics is crucial for improving its maneuverability and work efficiency during cleaning operations. In this paper, a hydrodynamic model of the underwater robot with a complex structure is established based on the viscous flow theory of the RANS equation. The sliding grid method is used for numerical calculation and research of the hydrodynamics of the underwater robot. Through simulation of different angles and speeds, the resistance performance and the influence of different angles of attack and sailing speeds are analyzed. The research can provide a foundation for optimizing the structural parameters and mechanical properties of complex underwater robots.
