In addition to being home to humans for millions of years, nature has been the main source of various technologies developed for humans with its unlimited potential and resources. In this study, the resistance characteristics of a submarine form developed by inspiration from nature were studied by calculated fluid dynamics (HAD) analysis. In this context, HAD analyses were first conducted on the different speed values of the DARPA Suboff submarine. In numerical analyses, the turbulent flow around the submarine was modeled by the Reynolds average Navier-Stokes (RANS) model with the SST Menter k-than turbulent model. The application of the HAD approaches is provided by the comparison of the achieved numerical results with the experimental results obtained from literature and the verification is carried out by an analysis of uncertainty based on the network intensity in the calculation area. Later, inspired by the geometry of the shape of the dog, a submarine shape of the same size and average width was created as the DARPA Suboff submarine. The DARPA submarine analysis has been conducted using the same HAD approaches and creating the same hydrodynamic conditions, inspired by nature, the HAD analysis of the submarine. When compared the total resistance values of the two submarine forms of the same size and average width at different speeds, it was found that the resistance of the form developed inspired by hunting was higher. It is believed that this study could be an example of new submarine studies that will be developed inspired by the forms of nature, especially the forms of the living animals in the sea.
