Title: Numerical Simulation Study of Hydrodynamic Characteristic for the Amphibious Tank
Abstract: In the amphibious tank design, the traditional way of studying the hydrodynamic performance and validating the design is towing trial, so several problems are not unavoidable.The software for hydrodynamic analysis is used, and the numerical simulation method is presented through computing non-steady hydrodynamic coupling with six-degree-of-freedom rigid body analysis and free surface integrator.The hydrodynamic characteristic of the amphibious tank is simulated by the method. The simulation result is consistent to the experiment one. So numerical simulation study is a effective way for designing the hydrodynamic performance of the tank, and can be successfully used to analysis hydrodynamic performance and forecast the moving speed and obliquity of the tank in the water and optimize the tank outline.
