“…AUVs have garnered significant interest due to their extensive applicability and multifunctional utility. These applications include but are not limited to, deep-sea exploration [40,41], seabed geological research [42,43], marine resource extraction [44], and underwater infrastructure maintenance [45,46]. However, the conventional propulsion method of AUVs, relying on propellers, poses several significant challenges.…”

Biomimetics, which draws inspiration from nature, has emerged as a key approach in the development of underwater vehicles. The integration of this approach with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has further propelled research in this field. CFD, as an effective tool for dynamic analysis, contributes significantly to understanding and resolving complex fluid dynamic problems in underwater vehicles. Biomimetics seeks to harness innovative inspiration from the biological world. Through the imitation of the structure, behavior, and functions of organisms, biomimetics enables the creation of efficient and unique designs. These designs are aimed at enhancing the speed, reliability, and maneuverability of underwater vehicles, as well as reducing drag and noise. CFD technology, which is capable of precisely predicting and simulating fluid flow behaviors, plays a crucial role in optimizing the structural design of underwater vehicles, thereby significantly enhancing their hydrodynamic and kinematic performances. Combining biomimetics and CFD technology introduces a novel approach to underwater vehicle design and unveils broad prospects for research in natural science and engineering applications. Consequently, this paper aims to review the application of CFD technology in the biomimicry of underwater vehicles, with a primary focus on biomimetic propulsion, biomimetic drag reduction, and biomimetic noise reduction. Additionally, it explores the challenges faced in this field and anticipates future advancements.

“…The investigation of the marine environment is almost inseparable from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). As a desirable mobile platform, AUV can flexibly cruise to the target area and complete a variety of underwater tasks, such as seafloor mapping (Zhang et al, 2015) (Noguchi et al, 2020), environmental monitoring (Vinoth Kumar et al, 2020), and coral conservation (Antervedi et al, 2021). A joint survey approach based on fleets of AUVs could change the way surveys used to rely on a single, large and expensive underwater vehicle to cover an entire area Zhen et al (2022).…”
