矢量推进自主水下航行器动力学建模及仿真

采用单矢量推进器进行航向控制的自主水下航行器(autonomous underwater vehicle,AUV),与采用传统的鳍舵进行航向控制的AUV相比,具有更好的低速操控性及定位精度.根据单矢量推进式AUV的特点,将AUV的推力视为螺旋桨转速及矢量推进器摆角的函数,运用Newton-Euler法建立了AUV的6自由度运动学模型和动力学模型,采用四阶五级龙格-库塔方法对单矢量推进式AUV动力学模型进行了求解,在Matlab环境下对其动力学行为进行了仿真预测,并通过水域试验验证了所建模型的正确性,为控制系统的设计奠定了基础.

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle with Vectored Thruster

Compared with the autonomous underwater vehicle（AUV）equipped with rudders,the AUV with vectored thruster has better maneuverability at low velocity and can achieve more precise positioning. According to the charac-teristics of the AUV with single vectored thruster,the 6-DOF kinematic model and dynamic model of the AUV are established using Newton-Euler method. In the dynamic model,the thrust force is considered as a function of the rotational speed of the propeller and the tilt angle of the vectored thruster. Dynamic behavior of the AUV with single vectored thruster is simulated using five-level four-order Runge-Kutta method in Matlab. The dynamic model,which lays a strong foundation for designing of the control system,is verified through physical tests in lake.
