Computational investigation of the self propulsıon performance of Darpa Suboff vehicle
In this paper, the resistance and power values which are very important for the hydrodynamic performance of an underwater vehicle have been calculated using both an empirical method and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. The self-propulsion of the vehicle has been investigated using Actuator Disk Theory. In CFD analyses, the flow around the underwater vehicle (DARPA SUBOFF) has been solved using Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations (RANSE) by finite volume method (FVM). During the analyses, the flow has been considered as 3-D, turbulent, incompressible and steady. In the present study, DARPA SUBOFF underwater vehicle has been selected to compare the results with those of experiments in literature. The flow around the DTMB 4119 model propeller has also been analyzed by CFD method and non-dimensional thrust, torque coefficients and open water propeller efficiency have been compared with the experimental ones
Caliper simulation using computer for vocational and technical education
In this study a caliper simulation was developed as computer application for using in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Distance-based training. This simulation was developed for teaching the caliper as measurement tool based Metric and Whitworth measurement systems. The developed caliper simulation introduced in detail step by step as user guide. The vernier scales are simulated as 1/10, 1/20 and 1/50 for metric measurement system and 1/64, 1/128 and 1/1000 for Whitworth measurement system. This simulation can easily be download and setup as computer software. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the most important application for students to study everywhere they would like
