This work develops a submerged towed docking device to establish initial physical contact with the AUV. Using CFD, scaled model experiments and multibody simulations, the system behaviour is analysed. The results show the motion characteristics of the system under a wide range of environmental and operational parameters, from which parameter regimes with robust docking behaviour can be derived.Dirk HinrichHops1998 -VerfasserInaut1419608029FlorianSprenger1981 -AkademischeR BetreuerIndgs10329628440000-0002-5225-8711University of RostockVahidHassaniAkademischeR BetreuerIndgsOslo Metropolitan University38329-6Universität Rostock1419 - 19761990 -Grad-verleihende Institutiondgg10085033-9Universität Rostock.
