Versions of the non-linear Schrödinger equation are frequently used for modelling the non-linear propagation of water waves. In this paper, we compare two models against the results of fully non-linear numerical simulations. We consider uni-directional versions of the non-linear Schrödinger equation of Dysthe et al. with the hybrid model of Trulsen et al. The model of Trulsen et al. is shown to have clear advantages in all situations considered including modelling wave crest statistics for highly non-linear cases. However, for very broad bandwidths this model does start to break down, presumably due to the inherent limitation of the envelope representation of water waves. This in turn leads to a small, non-physical, leakage of energy in nonlinear simulations, although, this leakage is much smaller than for the version with 5th order linear dispersion relationship.

The development of an accurate digital performance twin of a tug requires a complete understanding of its propulsive capacity and hull-thruster interactions. In this study, the propulsion characteristics of an Azimuth Stern Drive (ASD) tug is investigated using model-scale Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations. The propulsion plant consists of two counter-rotating thruster units, with each having a Ka4-70 series propeller and 19A duct profile. Comparisons in propulsive performances using the steady-state moving reference frame (MRF) approach and the transient rigid body motion (RBM) models are shown, and validated against data from openwater experiments. The MRF method gives sufficiently accurate predictions of thrust and torque in forward flow and moderate angles-of-attack, while the RBM method performs better at larger inflow angles. The effects of thruster-hull and thruster-thruster interactions on wake characteristics and propulsion performance are also investigated over a range of advance and inflow/azimuth angles. Convergence and mesh independence studies are conducted to determine the optimal spatial and temporal simulation parameters. Results from this study identify flow regimes where hull and thruster interactions are significant.

Compared with traditional antenna platform with two axes, Stewart platform can search airspace with no tracking blind district. And the advantages of high accuracy, high stiffness and high load-weight ratio also make it be a better solution for antenna platforms. This paper designed a 6-DOF ship-borne antenna platform based on the Stewart platform to overcome the difficulties that to realize a large orientation workspace (azimuth range is from 0° to 360°, pitch range is from 0° to 100°) under the compact dimensions of parallel mechanisms. A novel joint structure has been proposed which can provide a larger rotation angle than common Hooke joints to realize the large orientation workspace without the inter-mechanism interference. In addition, this paper defined the concept of working height and working radius then proposed a trajectory based on that to obtain the complete pose (translation and orientation) of antenna platform by azimuth and pitch angles. After that, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed to seek the optimal geometrical design parameters. A prototype of the 6-DOF ship-borne antenna platform adopted the particle swarm optimization results has been constructed. And the results show that it not noly meets the design requirements, but also provides a good performance.

This study is part of ongoing work on situational awareness and autonomy of a 16’ WAM-V USV. The objective of this work is to determine the potential and merits of application of two different station-keeping controllers for a fixed-pose motion control of the USV. The assessment includes performance and power consumption metrics tested under harsh environmental disturbances to evaluate the robustness of the control methods. The first is a nonlinear trajectory-tracking control method based on the sliding-mode control technique, while the second method uses a machine-learning approach based on Deep Reinforcement Learning. Results from both the approaches are compared for various case studies.

The path following control of an AUV considering arrival times at waypoints is proposed in this paper. The temporal constraint is considered by adding the surge velocity and the nominal thrust force as reference trajectory in the objective function of the nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). The proposed control strategy uses fewer reference variables than conventional trajectory tracking problems. The simulated results of the proposed control strategy are compared to the NMRI Cruising AUV#4 actual dive data. The simulated arrival times of waypoints were matched well to the measured data. Two guidance laws, the line of sight with lookahead-based steering law and the pure pursuit guidance law, are also applied to NMPC to determine reference yaw angle.

The turbulent flow around a cavitating controllable pitch propeller (CPP) is simulated by solving the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, to investigate the dynamic effects on cavitation when the pitch of propeller blades is changed at different pitch adjustment velocities (PAVs). The process of changing the pitch at prescribed PAVs is controlled by a user-defined function (UDF) in the software FLUENT, and during the process, the time-dependent flow domain is re-discretized at each time step with dynamic meshes. The SST k-ω turbulence model and the cavitation model proposed by Schnerr and Sauer are employed in the simulation. The numerical simulation approach is first validated against model experiments for a fixed pitch propeller (FPP) working in the open water. A grid dependence study is carried out to determine a proper mesh resolution for the simulation of such cavitating flows; then the hydrodynamic performance as well as the extent and volume of the sheet cavities obtained from the RANS simulations are compared with experimental data. Then influences of the PAV on the hydrodynamic performance and cavity geometry are investigated. The CPP blades are rotated around the spindle axes to change the pitch, and the movement is controlled by a UDF. The PAV is prescribed and kept constant in the process of adjusting the pitch. At different PAVs, the unsteady thrust and torque, pressure distributions on blade surfaces and propeller disk, cavity geometry, as well as cavitation volume of the cavitating flow are compared with each other to assess the dynamic effects of the PAV.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) missions are limited in range and duration by the vehicle’s battery capacity, and sensor payloads are limited by the processing power onboard which is also restricted by the vehicle’s battery capacity. Furthermore, the power consumption of a vehicle’s acoustic system limits the possibility of substantial data transmission, requiring the AUV be retrieved to download most data. The Platform for Expanding AUV exploRation to Longer ranges (PEARL), described in this paper, aims to extend the range and endurance of AUVs while reducing data latency and operating costs. PEARL is an integrated autonomous floating servicing station that utilizes renewable energy to simultaneously provide AUV battery recharging and data uplink via new generation high-bandwidth low-Earth orbit satellite constellations. This paper details the design and testing of two potential AUV docking modules of the PEARL system. The modules are uniquely located near the ocean surface, an energetic environment that presents a particular set of challenges for AUV docking. The results will be used to inform the design of a prototype system to be tested in an ocean setting.

Underwater Gliders are unique buoyancy propelled oceanographic profiling vehicles. Their speed and endurance in longitudinal motion are affected by the symmetry, sweep dihedral angle and span of the control surfaces. In the low-velocity regime, these parameters can be varied to examine the flow around the glider. They also affect the lift-to-drag ratio (L/D) essential for the manoeuvring path in longitudinal and transverse motions. In this paper, the sweep angle of the main wing of a blended wing autonomous underwater glider configuration is varied as 10°, 15°, 30°, 45° and 60° and the resulting hull forms are numerically simulated in the commercial software, STARCCM+. The main wing is a tapered NACA0018 section (taken as per the general arrangement requirement) with 1.5m chord at the root and 0. 1m at the tip. The numerical model is validated using the CFD results of NACA0012 airfoil from Sun.C et al, 2015 [1]. The hydrodynamic forces are obtained by varying the angle of attack (α) of the body from −15° to 15°, for flow velocity of 0.4m/s. The hydrodynamic coefficients (lift-to-drag ratios) and flow physics around the wing are analyzed to arrive at an optimum Lift-to-drag ratio for increased endurance.

This paper presents a method for detecting damage to a gillnet based on sensor fusion and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. Time-domain numerical simulations of a slender gillnet were performed under various wave conditions and failure and non-failure scenarios to collect big data used in the ANN model. In training, based on the results of global performance analyses, sea states, accelerations of the net assembly, and displacements of the location buoy were selected as the input variables. The backpropagation learning algorithm was employed in training to maximize damage-detection performance. The output of the ANN model was the identification of the particular location of the damaged net. In testing, big data, which were not used in training, were utilized. Well-trained ANN models detected damage to the net even at sea states that were not included in training with high accuracy.

A new time series clustering procedure, based on Functional Data Analysis techniques applied to spectral densities, is employed in this work for the detection of stationary intervals in random waves. Long records of wave data are divided into 30-minute or one-hour segments and the spectral density of each interval is estimated by one of the standard methods available. These spectra are regarded as the main characteristic of each 30-minute time series for clustering purposes. The spectra are considered as functional data and, after representation on a spline basis, they are clustered by a mixtures model method based on a truncated Karhunen-Loéve expansion as an approximation to the density function for functional data. The clustering method uses trimming techniques and restrictions on the scatter within groups to reduce the effect of outliers and to prevent the detection of spurious clusters. Simulation examples show that the procedure works well in the presence of noise and the restrictions on the scatter are effective in avoiding the detection of false clusters. Consecutive time intervals clustered together are considered as a single stationary segment of the time series. An application to real wave data is presented.
