MR Medrano, AMI Tan, AT Hilomen, MN Soriano & FNC Paraan. Quantitative analysis of fluid flow around the Towpedo via computational fluid dynamics, in Proceedings of the 35th Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Conference, SPP-2017-3B-04 (Cebu City, Philippines, 2017).
Abstract
The Towpedo is a torpedo-shaped device used to conduct rapid and wide-range photographic surveys of shallow coral reefs. The objectives of this study were to determine the forces acting on a Towpedo moving in seawater and determine its drag coefficient via computational fluid dynamics. A computer generated model of the Towpedo was subjected to fluid tunnel simulations using computational fluid dynamic software.
