The hybrid-driven underwater glider (HUG) is a new kind of underwater vehicle; it combines the best features of autonomous underwater vehicles and underwater gliders, and can be used as important platforms for marine environment observation and ocean resource exploration. It’s difficult to get the drag coefficient of HUG through theoretical formula. In this paper, we use analysis software Fluent to analyze the HUG with different attack-angle and velocities, get the lift 、 drag coefficient and lift-drag ratio, and determine the biggest lift-drag ratio of HUG in the attack- angle of 6 degrees.
