Abstract:An underwater vehicle’s design and operation requires prediction of its performance at various velocities and angles-of-attack or of sideslip. Traditional models based upon headway motion at substantial speeds use coefficient-based equations of motion. Simulations based upon these coefficients are not valid for hover, low speeds, or high angles-of-attack or of sideslip.
To remedy this severe limitation, nonlinear hydrodynamic models valid for all attitudes of underwater vehicles have been develo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
