A new autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) has high maneuverability near the bottom and a direction turnaround ability, called helicopter (AUH). This paper numerically investigates hydrodynamic performance of AUH. Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique, is applied to analyze AUH’s behavior. Investigations characteristics become more obvious with service speed in range 0.4–1.2 m/s. For same velocity condition, resistance AUH increases, irregular eddy at rear expands changes angles attack length/height ratio. Essential design including pressure, distribution, streamlines are shown analyzed. These insights can be used as guideline reduce drag force optimize profile for future designs. It great potential improving control algorithms.

Cylindrical shell structures have excellent structural properties and load-bearing capacities in fields such as aerospace, marine engineering, nuclear power. However, under high-pressure conditions, cylindrical shells are prone to cracking due impact, corrosion, fatigue, leading a reduction strength or failure. This paper proposes static modeling method for damaged liquid-filled based on the extended finite element (XFEM). It investigated impact of different initial crack angles propagation path failure process shells, overcoming difficulties accurately simulating stress concentration at tips discontinuities encountered traditional methods. Additionally, fluid-structure interaction theory, dynamic model was established, analyzing changes pressure flow state fluid during propagation. Experimental results showed that although angle had slight effect path, ultimately along both sides main axis shell. When 0°, more likely form through-crack, with highest penetration rate, whereas when 75°, speed slower. After entered shell, it spurted forming wave crest ejection position.
