<abstract> <p>In the theoretical controller design of the High-Speed Supercavitating Vehicle (HSSV), there will always be the problem that the physical saturation limit has to be exceeded by the motion range of the actuator to satisfy the requirements of stable motion of the supercavitating vehicle. This paper proposes a solution which could satisfy the requirements of stable motion of the vehicle without saturation of the actuator. First of all, the rotation range of the actuator and the motion performance of the vehicle with robust controller are analyzed under the condition where saturation is neglected. Then, according to the analysis conclusion, the controller is improved by using linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) method, which provides the additional control component to reduce the rotation angle and rotation speed of the actuator. Finally, the simulation proves that the solution could realize the stable motion of vehicle without saturation of actuator.</p> </abstract>

A ventilated cavity was investigated using three-dimensional numerical simulation and cavitation water tunnel experiments under the condition of low Froude number. A two-fluid multiphase flow model was adopted in numerical predictions. The drag between the different phases and gravitational effect, as well as the compressibility of gas, was considered in the numerical simulations. By comparing the ventilated coefficient computational results of three different turbulence models with the Epshtein formula, the shear-stress-transport turbulence model was finally employed. The phenomenon of double-vortex tube gas-leakage was observed in both numerical simulations and experiments. Based on the validity of the numerical method, the change law of the lift coefficient on the afterbody was given by numerical predictions and accorded well with experimental results. The cause for the appearance of an abrupt increase in lift was difficult to get from experiments for the hard measurement, whereas the numerical simulations provided some supplements to analyze the reasons. The distribution of lift coefficient on the afterbody had important significance to the design of underwater vehicles.

High-speed supercavitating vehicles are surrounded by a huge cavity of gas and only a small portion of the nose and the tail of the vehicle are in contact with the water which leads to a considerable reduction in skin friction drag and reaching very high speeds. High-speed supercavitating vehicles are usually controlled by the cavitator at the nose which controls the pitch and depth of the vehicle and the control surfaces or fins which control the roll and heading angle of the vehicle using the bank-to-turn maneuvering method. However, control surfaces have disadvantages such as the high drag force and ineffectiveness due to the supercavity. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to eliminate the fins from high-speed supercavitating vehicles and propose a new bank-to-turn heading control of this novel finless high-speed supercavitating vehicle which is composed of the cavitator at the nose and an oscillating pendulum as the internal actuator. Sliding mode control as a robust method is used for the six-degrees-of-freedom model of this finless high-speed vehicle against exposed disturbances. Some design criteria for the design of the internal pendulum in this finless supercavitating vehicle are presented for the damping coefficient, pendulum mass, and radius.

Cavity-vehicle interactions play a significant role in the dynamics of supercavitating underwater vehicles. To date, in the vast majority of planing force models for supercavitating vehicle dynamics, a steady planing assumption is utilized, wherein the vehicle-cavity interaction is only dependent on the vehicle’s position relative to the cavity. In this work, a framework to properly account for the vehicle radial motions into and out of the fluid is presented. This effectively introduces damping or velocity related dependence into the planing force formulation. The planing force is applied to cavity sections that are described by a previous (or delayed) position and orientation of the cavitator. The physical basis for the advection delay and the expressions used to determine the vehicle immersion and immersion rate are presented. Analysis and simulations for the time-delayed, non-steady planing system are carried out, and the delay effect in this system is shown to be stabilizing for certain values of the cavitation number that is contrary to previous results that have assumed steady planing force models.
