NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF FORMATION OPTIMIZATION FOR A FLEET OF UNMANNED SURFACE VEHICLES BASED ON A MINIMUM ENERGY CONSUMPTION REQUIREMENT

Numerical simulation of formation optimization for a fleet of unmanned surface vehicles based on a minimum energy consumption requirement

This study proposes a hydrodynamic optimization strategy focusing on minimum energy consumption to construct the formation of a fleet of Stemless Wine Glasses unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) by transforming the longitudinal offset and transverse separation.USVs were used instead of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) to fully consider the influe

Knowledge-Aided Doppler Beam Sharpening Super-Resolution Imaging by Exploiting the Spatial Continuity Information

This paper deals with the problem of high cross-range resolution Doppler beam sharpening (DBS) imaging for airborne wide-area surveillance (WAS) radar under short dwell time situations.A knowledge-aided DBS (KA-DBS) imaging algorithm is proposed.In the proposed KA-DBS framework, the DBS imaging model for WAS radar is constructed and the cross-range

A Photogrammetric Technique for Developing Boundary Equations for Flexible Sheath Waterless Trap Seals as Used in Building Drainage Systems

The water trap seal is still the main method of protecting building inhabitants from the ingress of foul contaminated air and noxious gases from the sewer.This seal can become compromised when water is lost in the trap by processes including evaporation NEEM OIL and siphonage from excessive system suction pressures.A recent innovation is the waterl
