Experimental Study of Hydrodynamic Performance of Unmanned Wave Glide Vehicle

Abstract

Abstract:

Abstract： The prototype of unmanned wave glide vehicle (UWGV)——“Voyager I” was designed and built. Experiments were conducted including the resistance tests in calm water, the selfpropulsion tests in regular wave and the freedom sailing tests in regular wave. The resistance composition of UWGV in calm water was studied. Besides, the effect of wave length and amplitude on heaving amplitude, pitching angle, thrust of wave glider propulsor (WGP) and the freedom sailing velocity of the UWGV were analyzed. The changing tendency of was obtained with wave length and amplitude. The experiment result provides a new direction for numerical calculation and a foundation for development of unmanned surface vehicle with long voyage and low carbon.

Key words: unmanned wave glide vehicle (UWGV), tandem foil, regular wave, hydrodynamic performance
