Project introduction
In this project, we examined the fluid dynamics characteristics of the SB12.01 type amphibious vehicle. The goal was to find solutions to reduce resistance caused by water flow during the vessel’s navigation, thereby increasing travel speed and optimizing vehicle fuel consumption.
