Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...

Open and closed-loop control systems

Open and closed-loop control systems

Control systems are foundational elements in automation and engineering. They are broadly categorized into open-loop and closed-loop systems. These classifications hinge on the presence or absence of feedback mechanisms, significantly influencing the system's performance, complexity, and application.
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

One-Degree-of-Freedom System

One-Degree-of-Freedom System

In mechanical engineering, one-degree-of-freedom systems form the basis of a wide range of electrical and mechanical components. Using these models, engineers can predict the behavior of various parts in a larger system, which gives them insight into how different forces interact with each other.
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...

Background:

Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) swarms are vital for underwater exploration, offering advantages over single vehicles.
Developing UUV swarm control is challenging due to a lack of integrated toolchains for global design and individual implementation.
Manual partitioning of global schemes for individual UUVs leads to significant efficiency losses in development.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an integrated experimental framework for the complete UUV swarm control development workflow.
To address the complexity of UUV swarm control by unifying algorithm design, simulation, code generation, and deployment.
To reduce the substantial efficiency losses associated with manual development processes.

Main Methods:

Developed an integrated platform with three core components: global simulation, rapid prototyping, and digital twin visualization.
The global simulation environment allows virtual validation of swarm collective behavior.
The rapid prototyping module enables automated code generation and partitioning for individual UUV implementation, supported by real-time monitoring via digital twin visualization.

Main Results:

The platform successfully integrates global design with individual UUV implementation.
A case study demonstrated a reduction in development time from algorithm design to deployment from an estimated 6 hours to under 1 hour.
This represents an approximately 80% reduction in development time for UUV swarm control systems.

Conclusions:

The integrated framework significantly enhances the efficiency of UUV swarm control development.
The platform addresses the limitations of existing toolchains by providing a unified approach.
This advancement facilitates faster and more efficient deployment of coordinated UUV systems for various applications.
