The relativistic glider [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present a purely relativistic effect according to which asymmetric oscillations of a quasi-rigid body slow down or accelerate its fall in a gravitational background.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures. To appear in Phys Rev

A Glider-Assisted Link Disruption Restoration Mechanism in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

open access: yesSensors, 2018
Underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs) have become a hot research topic. In UASNs, nodes can be affected by ocean currents and external forces, which could result in sudden link disruption.

Effects of Connection Type between Surface Vessel and Submersible Propeller on Motion Performance of Wave Glider

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Wave Glider is an autonomous surface vehicle that directly uses wave energy to generate forward power and has been widely used in marine survey and observation. Wave Glider is composed of surface vessel, submersible propeller and the connection structure

Internal-tide vertical structure and steric sea surface height signature south of New Caledonia revealed by glider observations [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science
In this study, we exploit autonomous underwater glider data to infer internal-tide dynamics south of New Caledonia, an internal-tide-generation hot spot in the southwestern tropical Pacific.

Shape Optimization of Blended-Wing-Body Underwater Gliders Based on Free-Form Deformation

open access: yesXibei Gongye Daxue Xuebao, 2020
Currently developed underwater gliders can be roughly divided into the two types:traditional configuration and unconventional configuration. As a type of underwater gliders with unconventional configuration, a blended-wing-body (BWB) underwater glider ...
