Design of optimal control surfaces for underwater vehicles
Title
Design of optimal control surfaces for underwater vehicles.
Creator
Jenkin, Alan Paul., Florida Atlantic University, Merry, Stephanie L.
Abstract/Description
This thesis presents a method for determining the optimal size and position of stabilizing fins and control surfaces for underwater vehicles. An interactive computer program predicts performance characteristics from calculated vehicle hydrodynamic coefficients. This program merges with a dynamic simulation that utilizes the characteristic coefficients of the design vehicle configuration. Example designs illustrate the procedure and general guidelines for the design of control surfaces....
Show moreThis thesis presents a method for determining the optimal size and position of stabilizing fins and control surfaces for underwater vehicles. An interactive computer program predicts performance characteristics from calculated vehicle hydrodynamic coefficients. This program merges with a dynamic simulation that utilizes the characteristic coefficients of the design vehicle configuration. Example designs illustrate the procedure and general guidelines for the design of control surfaces. Simulated steady state maneuvers illustrate the performance criteria and confirm the application of the design and simulation software package.

Optical 2D Positional Estimation for a Biomimetic Station-Keeping Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Title
Optical 2D Positional Estimation for a Biomimetic Station-Keeping Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.
Creator
Nunes, Christopher, Dhanak, Manhar R., Florida Atlantic University, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
Underwater vehicles often use acoustics or dead reckoning for global positioning, which is impractical for low cost, high proximity applications. An optical based positional feedback system for a wave tank operated biomimetic station-keeping vehicle was made using an extended Kalman filter and a model of a nearby light source. After physical light model verification, the filter estimated surge, sway, and heading with 6 irradiance sensors and a low cost inertial measurement unit (~$15)....
Show moreUnderwater vehicles often use acoustics or dead reckoning for global positioning, which is impractical for low cost, high proximity applications. An optical based positional feedback system for a wave tank operated biomimetic station-keeping vehicle was made using an extended Kalman filter and a model of a nearby light source. After physical light model verification, the filter estimated surge, sway, and heading with 6 irradiance sensors and a low cost inertial measurement unit (~$15). Physical testing with video feedback suggests an average error of ~2cm in surge and sway, and ~3deg in yaw, over a 1200 cm2 operational area. This is 2-3 times better, and more consistent, than adaptations of prior art tested alongside the extended Kalman filter feedback system. The physical performance of the biomimetic platform was also tested. It has a repeatable forward velocity response with a max of 0.3 m/s and fair stability in surface testing conditions.
