POSEIDON Modeling and Simulation
Tool Suite
Hydrodynamics for Out-Of-The-Box Operations
Exceptional Capability
- Providing design and analysis solutions for underwater vehicles
- AUVs, towed systems, gliders, submarines. and other specialized systems
- Addresses high-risk aspects of operating in a maritime environment
- Substantial data repository matured over decades of development
- Validated flight data from U.S. Navy submarines, AUVs, ROVs, Seal & Swimmer Delivery Vehicles, aircraft, UAVs, towed systems
- Delivered software or design/analysis solutions for over 390 maritime vehicles
- State-of-the-Art
- Analytical and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
- Predicting hydrodynamic coefficients of all types of undersea vehicles prior to scale-model testing
- Using advanced methods to compute linear and nonlinear hydrodynamic forces and moments based on vehicle geometry
- Simulation technology executes nonlinear vehicle maneuvering code, including cable dynamics of towed systems
- Lower Risk & Cost
- Iterative ‘simulate and tune’ versus expensive and time consuming ‘collect data and tune’ method
- Predicting failure modes in simulated worst-case or rigorous sea conditions
- Simulating failures to quantify effects and identify responses
- Quantifying “Get-Home Capability” for multiple or sequential failures during operations
- Simulating high-risk test events too perilous to perform at sea
