Area of Science:

  • Biomimetics
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Optical Sensing

Background:

  • Doppler velocity logs are standard for underwater flow but are power-intensive and inaccurate at low velocities.
  • Existing methods struggle with precise near-field flow velocity measurements crucial for underwater robotics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel optical flow sensor for accurate low-velocity underwater fluid measurement.
  • To mimic fish neuromasts for enhanced sensitivity and performance.

Main Methods:

  • Fabricated a sensor using ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber pillars with attached phosphor.
  • Measured optical signals via camera and image analysis after applying external force.
  • Utilized simulation to analyze flow fields and correlate flow rate with velocity.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high improvement rates (99.585% for type A, 99.825% for type B) in elastic recovery characteristics.
  • Determined optimal force ranges (0-0.1 N for A, 0-2 N for B) for minimal error.
  • Demonstrated a linear relationship between pillar shape and elastic recovery.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed optical flow sensor offers a sensitive and accurate method for measuring underwater fluid flow, especially at low velocities.
  • This technology can significantly improve navigation and control for underwater unmanned vehicles and robots.
