“…There is a very large literature concerning the experimental and numerical investigation for the resistance prediction of underwater vehicles. Studies where the resistance of the generic forms like DARPA Suboff, BB2 Joubert, C-Scout are obtained experimentally (Crook, 1990;Roddy, 1990;Liu & Huang ,1998;Carrica et al, 2016;Thomas et al, 2003;Thomas et al, 2003;Mackay, M., 1988) and numerically (Bull, 1996;Anckermann, 2008;Fell, 2009;McDonald & Whitfield, 1996;Alin et al, 2010;Chase & Carrica, 2013;Carrica et al, 2019) can be mentioned as pioneering studies.…”
