Abstract
The authors have developed a remote operate vehicle (ROV) that allow carried out highly risky task, in confined space such as inside of submerged sewers and pipes systems, areas were commercial ROV may not provide good performing. In addition, this ROV is low cost. This paper analyses based on the computational fluid dynamic the hydrodynamic performance of this ROV. The first part of the paper presents the theoretical approach and introduces the finite volume model developed in order to complete the study. Results of the model compare with published research shows good agreement. The second (forthcoming) part of the paper analyzes the hydrodynamic behavior of the ROV under different flow conditions.Keywords
