Abstract

With its benefits of efficiency and speed, the orthogonal experimental design method is currently often employed in many domains for multi-factor experimental design. In this study, the wind–wave–flow multifunctional experimental flume was used to replicate surge circumstances using the orthogonal technique in order to investigate the contributing factors and their interactions on the sea surface IR characteristics of underwater vehicles’ wakes. According to the correlation analysis, the height of the swell and the surface temperature difference of the wake had only a weak negative correlation, while the dive depth of the underwater vehicle and the surface temperature difference of the wake had a significant negative correlation (p = −0.833). It was tentatively concluded that the surface temperature differential of the wake was found to be more sensitive to dive depth than to swell height. An investigation of the impact of trailing IR features can use this finding as a pertinent reference.
