Abstract
In this study, the numerical investigation of the flow around the SUBOFF submarine model is performed by using the Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) method which is developed based on the SST k-ω turbulence model. At the DES analysis level, complex vortical flows around the submarine model are caused mainly by the vortices due to the appendages and their interactions with the flows from the hull boundary layer and other appendages. The complexity and scale of the vortical flow obtained from the numerical simulations are highly dependent on the grid. The computed local flow properties of the submarine model are compared with the available experimental data showing a good agreement. The DES analysis more reasonably estimates the physical phenomena inherent in the experimental result in a low radius of the propeller plane where vortical flows smaller than the RANS scale are dominant.
