Dynamics modeling of variable mass systems – a case study of an underwater inertia based propelled glider performance

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Underwater gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles that are widely used in oceanography and coastal surveillance due to their low manufacturing costs and long operation time.This paper addresses the development of a dynamical model of such vehicles which are inertia propelled.The dynamical model is based upon the Boltzmann-Hamel equations modified to variable mass and inertia systems.It yields dynamics in a body-fixed frame using non--inertial coordinates.The theoretical development of the vehicle dynamics based upon the modified Boltzmann-Hamel equations is validated by the longitudinal dynamics model of the underwater glider and its performance resulted from the mass change.
