Based on CFD technique, this paper discusses the applicability of different turbulence models and mesh partition method which are used to predict the hydrodynamic performance of AUV. Firstly, the hydrodynamic performance prediction method was gotten and was validated, and three different shapes autonomous underwater vehicles were designed. The hydrodynamic performances of the three autonomous underwater vehicles were predicted. Then, the advantage and disadvantage of the four autonomous underwater vehicles were obtained by comparing the resistance and pressure distribution. Based on these, two other AUV hulls were designed which combined the advantages of them, and the hydrodynamic performance was predicted. The calculation results showed that the resistance and hull pressure distribution were improved remarkably comparing with the parent model. The resistance coefficient of optimized hull is reduced by 20% compared to the parent hull.
