Nonlinear Free Surface and Viscous Effects on Underwater Vehicle Maneuvering and Seakeeping
The accurate prediction of forces and motions on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating close to the wavy free surface is imperative to their usefulness as oceanic research and warfare craft. Maneuvering models for underwater vessels are typically constrained to deep water motions where …

Determining Parameters for a Lagrangian Mechanical System Model of a Submerged Vessel Maneuvering in Waves
… mechanical system model of a submerged vessel maneuvering near waves is presented. The nonlinear model with determined parameters is capable of capturing nonlinear effects neglected by other linear models, and therefore can be applied to improve maneuvering performance and expand the operating …

Lagrangian Mechanics Modeling of Free Surface-Affected Marine Craft
Although ships have been used for thousands of years, modeling the dynamics of marine craft has historically been restricted by the complex nature of the hydrodynamics. The principal challenge is that the vehicle motion is coupled to the ambient fluid motion, effectively requiring one to solve an …
