Abstract
After a torpedo anchor is released into water during its installation, the directional stability of this anchor is an important factor for its penetration performance. In this paper, a CFD method is used to simulate the falling behavior of the anchor, and detailed parametric studies are conducted to analyze the effects of various parameters to the directional stability. The results show that some parameters like weight, gravity center, and aspect ratio of fin have significant influence on the directional stability.
