“…Additionally, the finalized wing, already introduced in this work, was straight tapered, the finalized horizontal stabilizer shape was straight tapered, and the shortlisted vertical stabilizer design was backward tapered. According to the data based on the second literature survey, conventional analytical approaches were used to design the wings and stabilizers, while the fuselage, forward propeller and vertical propeller were designed following unique analytical approaches [11][12][13][14][15]. When analysing other studies on the development of unmanned marine vehicles and their components, the authors noticed a few problems.…”

This paper presents the design calculations, implementations, and multi-engineering based computational constructions of an unmanned amphibious vehicle (UAmV) which efficiently travels underwater to detect and collect deep-sea minerals for investigations, as well as creative usage purposes. The UAmV is expected to operate at a 300 m depth from the water surface. The UAmV is deployed above the water surface near to the approximate target location and swims underwater, checking the presence of various mining, then extracts them using a unique mechanism and stores them in an inimitable fuselage location. Since this proposed UAmV survives in deep-sea regions, the design construction of this UAmV is inspired by hydrodynamic efficient design-based fish, i.e., Rhinaancylostoma. Additionally, standard analytical approaches are followed and, subsequently, the inimitable components such as wing, stabilizers, propellers, and mining storage focused fuselage are calculated. The computational analyses such as hydrodynamic investigations and vibrational investigations were carried out with the help of ANSYS Workbench. The hydrodynamic pressures at various deployment regions were estimated and thereafter the vibrational outcomes of UAmVs were captured for various lightweight materials. The computed outcomes were imposed in the analytical approach and thereby the electrical energy generations by the UAmV’s components were calculated. Finally, the hydrodynamic efficient design and best material were picked, which provided a path to further works on the execution of the focused mission. Based on the low drag generating design profile and high electrical energy induction factors, the optimizations were executed on this work, and thus the needful, as well as suitable UAmV, was finalized for targeted real-time applications.

Recent large-scale operations, including frequent maritime transportation and unauthorised as well as unlawful collisions of drainage wastes, have polluted the ocean’s ecology. Due to the ocean’s unsuitable ecology, the entire globe may experience drastic aberrant conditions, which will force illness onto all living things. Therefore, an advanced system is very necessary to remove the undesired waste from the ocean’s surface and interior. Through the use of progressive unmanned amphibious vehicles (UAV), this study provides a dynamic operational mode-based solution to damage removal. In order to successfully handle the heavy payloads of ravage collections when the UAV reveals centre of gravity concerns, a highly manoeuvrable-based design inspired by nature has been imposed. The ideal creatures to serve as the inspiration for this piece are tropical birds, which have a long tail for navigating tricky situations. The design initialization was carried out by focusing on the outer body of tropical birds. Following this, special calculations were conducted and the full design parameters of the UAV were established. This study proposes a unique mathematical formulation for the development of primary and secondary design parameters of an UAV. The proposed mission profile of this application is computationally tested with the aid of sophisticated computational methodologies after the modelling of this UAV. The computational methods that are required are one-way coupling-based hydro-structural interaction assessments and computational hydrodynamic analyses. Computing is used to determine the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces over the UAV, the lightweight materials to withstand high fluid dynamic loads, and the buoyancy forces to complete the UAV components. These computational methods have been used to produce a flexible and fine-tuned UAV design for targeted real-time applications.
