The wake characteristics of underwater vehicles during navigation are influenced by factors such as the intensity of ocean stratification, free surface effects, and unsteady motion, making them detectable and posing challenges to their stealth. This paper systematically reviews the latest research progress on underwater vehicle wakes, focusing on three key aspects: theoretical modeling, experimental research, and numerical simulation. It discusses the wake generation mechanisms, evolution patterns, and key influencing factors in stratified flows, highlighting the limitations of existing models in describing complex stratified structures, nonlinear effects, and turbulent dissipation. The paper proposes the future development of high-precision coupled models, multi-physics experimental databases, and intelligent wake control algorithms. Additionally, it explores the current state and future directions of wake detection and suppression technologies, aiming to provide insights for optimizing underwater vehicle design, enhancing stealth capabilities, and advancing efficient detection technologies.

This study seeks to predict the hydrodynamic properties of composite propellers and analyze their fluid-structure interaction characteristics.
Combined with the boundary element method (BEM) and finite element method (FEM), a composite propeller fluid-structure interaction calculation method is established. The surface pressure and hydrodynamic force of the composite propeller blade are calculated by BEM, and the calculated surface pressure of the propeller is transferred to a finite element structure model. The displacement and stress distribution of the composite propeller under load are then predicted by FEM, and the deformation is transferred to the hydraulic force calculation of the propeller BEM so as to realize two-way fluid-structure interaction calculation. The feasibility of this method is verified by calculating a 5471 propeller and comparing it with the experimental values in the literature, then comparing and analyzing the hydrodynamic performance of the 5471 composite propeller and a rigid propeller.
The results show that the proposed method can realize the hydrodynamic performance analysis of composite propellers, which has the advantages of simple implementation, high calculation efficiency and high accuracy.
The findings of this study can provide reliable data support for the adaptive design of composite propellers and improve their design efficiency.
The refined description of the flow field information around a ship can provide feedback on the internal essence of the ship's macroscopic hydrodynamic performance from the perspective of the flow mechanism, and high-quality flow field measurement technology is a necessary means of ensuring such a refined description of the flow field. Based on the engineering requirements of ship flow field measurement, the current development status of flow field measurement technology is summarized according to its technical characteristics, and the applications and characteristics of each method are described in detail. The existing flow field measurement methods still have many problems that need to be solved. The exploration of hardware upgrading, technology integration, algorithm optimization, function expansion, data assimilation and machine learning may promote the rapid development of flow field measurement technology in the direction of comprehensiveness, specialization and efficiency.
