An underwater robot is one of the important ocean equipment, and especially its stealth performance has influenced on the vitality in naval warfare. Structure radiation noise as the main source of underwater robot noise, so analysis on vibration and noise radiation is a topic of great concern. The way is used widely that based on fluid-solid coupling modal analysis combined with simulation on v...

This paper handles the issue of identifying the whistle of a dolphin in the presence of noise. When a recorded underwater signal containing other sounds is given to a system, it detects and identifies the presence of dolphin whistle. Analyzing the extracted underwater sounds gives meaningful information about the environment. Also, the presence of a particular underwater species and their behav...

For the coordination and control of robot behavior, behavior decision is the foundation and the determinant of robot intelligence. Based on autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), through the analysis of domestic anti-surge technology research status and inrush current model, a control technology with the use of behavioural decision upper and lower piecewise integration control between PID and FPI...

The Searazor is a novel underwater vehicle designed for underwater inspection and maintenance of ships and underwater structures. In this paper, the vehicle’s dynamic characteristics and control scheme are studied. A series of sub-models, representing the major components of the vehicle, are developed in a bond graph environment. A servo control system that governs the attitude and steering is ...

Ad hoc underwater acoustic networks represent a very challenging field in digital communications due to the extreme nature of the underwater acoustic channel and also the requirement to meet critical needs in order to establish long range propagation, decentralisation and reliability. As a fact the underwater acoustic communications speed is five times less than the magnitude of the radio waves...

Atmospheric muons play an important role in underwater/ice neutrino detectors. In this paper, a parameterisation of the flux of single and multiple muon events, their lateral distribution and of their energy spectrum is presented. The kinematics parameters were modelled starting from a full Monte Carlo simulation of the interaction of primary cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei; secondary muons...

Simulation of underwater light is essential for modeling marine ecosystems. A new model of underwater light attenuation is presented and compared with previous models. In situ data collected in Monterey Bay, CA. during September 2006 are used for validation. It is demonstrated that while the new light model is computationally simple and efficient it maintains accuracy and flexibility. When this...

This paper describes the capability, design and application of the generic underwater warfare simulation environment ODIN. The model was developed by QinetiQ, previously DERA (Defence Evaluation and Research Agency), to model the detailed underwater interaction between surface ship/submarine/UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) platforms, torpedoes and countermeasures. It was originally developed ...

The past decades have seen a growing interest in underwater wireless communications researches, but this faces many challenges, specially through physical processes that cause impact in this communication technique. Despite this, underwater wireless networks seems to be a good solution for water quality monitoring in pisciculture tanks, since this service requires a lot of time and manpower. Th...

Abstract Recent research has indicated that single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) is an attractive technology for underwater acoustic communications. Because it does not have the drawbacks of OFDM systems such as large peak-to-average ratio and the sensitivity to carrier frequency offsets. In this paper, three kinds of frequency domain equalization schemes were compared in the u...
