Ocean currents significantly affect underwater vehicle launches, altering trajectories and stability.
At 1.0 and 1.5 m/s, vehicles experience noticeable tilt, leading to increased localized loads.
Three-dimensional simulations uncover the relationship between ocean currents and cavity behavior.
The findings highlight the need for adjustments in vehicle design for successful underwater launches.
