About
Dr. Sang-Ki Jung is a leading researcher in underwater robotics and marine hydrodynamics, with a primary focus on the computational analysis of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). His most influential work, "Verification of CFD analysis methods for predicting the drag force and thrust power of an underwater disk robot," has garnered 20 citations and established a foundational methodology for evaluating the performance of novel underwater vehicle designs. In this seminal 2014 study, Dr. Jung rigorously validated the use of ANSYS-CFX computational fluid dynamics tools to accurately predict critical performance metrics—including drag force, thrust, and torque—for a concept underwater disk robot. His major contribution lies in demonstrating that CFD can serve as a reliable, cost-effective initial analysis tool, reducing the need for expensive physical prototyping in early design stages. This work has proven essential for researchers and engineers seeking to optimize thruster selection and hull design for efficient underwater propulsion. Dr. Jung's research continues to advance the field of marine robotics by bridging the gap between computational modeling and real-world hydrodynamic performance, making him a key figure in the development of next-generation autonomous underwater systems.
