Research on turning maneuverability of submerged glider of the wave glider
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment, 2020Turning Maneuverability is an important hydrodynamic performance of the wave glider, which can realize the position keeping, path tracking and steering obstacle avoidance in a reliable way. The influences on the maneuverability of the relevant parameters of the rudder are analyzed by using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method in this paper ...

Dynamic modeling of a wave glider
Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering, 2017We propose a method to establish a dynamic model for a wave glider, a wave-propelled sea surface vehicle that can make use of wave energy to obtain thrust. The vehicle, composed of a surface float and a submerged glider in sea water, is regarded as a two-particle system. Kane’s equations are used to establish the dynamic model. To verify the model, the

Lagrangian Modelling of an Underwater Wave Glider
Ship Technology Research, 2012AbstractThis paper introduces a control-oriented modelling approach for a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle, the Underwater Wave Glider. The vehicle can accomplish both surface and underwater tasks by changing its shape: it can operate as a wave glider at the sea surface, exploiting wave and solar energy to recharge the onboard batteries, and switch

Autonomous front tracking by a Wave Glider
OCEANS 2016 MTS/IEEE Monterey, 2016Coastal upwelling brings cooler, saltier, and nutrient-rich deep water upward to the surface. Upwelling fronts support enriched phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, thus having great influences on ocean ecosystems. We have developed a method to enable a Wave Glider (an autonomous surface vehicle) to autonomously detect and track an upwelling ...

Lagrangian modeling of the Underwater Wave Glider
OCEANS 2011 IEEE - Spain, 2011This paper introduces a control-oriented modeling approach for a hybrid autonomous underwater vehicle: the Underwater Wave Glider. Thanks to a non-conventional design, the vehicle can accomplish both surface and underwater tasks, by changing its shape. The vehicle can operate as a wave glider at the sea surface, where the potential energy of the waves ...

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Submarine of the Wave Glider
Advanced Materials Research, 2013Wave glider harvests the abundant ocean wave energy for long term ocean cruising due to its particular two-part architecture. Its submerged part named glider converts vertical fluctuation of waves to horizontally forward propulsion. Because of the uncertainty of the ocean condition and irregularity of its wave motion, the design parameters of the ...

Wave Glider—A platform for persistent monitoring of algal blooms
OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011Wave glider (WG) is a novel autonomous surface vehicle that uses energy from surface waves for propulsion and an array of solar panels to power the sensor and hotel payloads. In this paper, we test the applicability of the WG platform for persistent monitoring of algal biomass distribution in Monterey Bay, CA.
