Computational Hydrodynamics and Control Modeling for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Abstract

Development of a computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) based methodology for Autonomoun Undersea Vehicle (AUV) Design and performance prediction. Use of the CFD based methodology for a dynamic oceanic circumstance (shallow water). to develop a set of algorithms for vehicle control and to parametrically explore the range of environmental variables. Development of feature based navigation techniques using side scan sonar data of the sea floor.
