چکیده
| This paper examines dynamical models for bladedpropeller type marine thrusters. Previously reported thruster dynamics models are reviewed, and a simpli ed model is proposed. Experimental testing of both the transient and steady-state performance of a marine thruster corroborates previously reported data, validates the simpli ed thruster model, and raises new questions. A companion paper reports preliminary experiments in the design and testing of thrust controllers which incorporate the dynamical thruster models described in the present paper.

متن کاملThruster Modeling and Controller Design for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs)
Thruster modeling and control is the core of underwater vehicle control and simulation, because it is the lowest control loop of the system; hence, the system would benefit from accurate and practical modeling of the thrusters. In unmanned underwater vehicles, thrusters are generally propellers driven by electrical motors. Therefore, thrust force is simultaneously affected by motor model, prope...
متن کاملPreliminary Experiments in Model-Based Thruster Control for Underwater Vehicle Positioning
This paper reports comparative experiments with two novel and one conventional thrust control algorithms for the unsteady (transient) control of thrust generated by conventional bladedpropeller marine thrusters. First, comparative experiments with three different thrust control algorithms over a wide range of unsteady operating conditions suggest that model-based control algorithms offer transi...
متن کاملPreliminary experiments in the model-based dynamic control of marine thrusters
This paper presents experiments with a new algorithm for the unseady (tranient) thrust control bladed-propeller marine thrusters. Comparative experiments over a wide range of unsteady operating conditions with three different thrust control algorithms demonstrate the model-based control algorithm to offer transient thrust-control performance superior to that of its non-model-based counterpart. ...
متن کاملA Four Quadrant Finite Dimensional Thruster Model
This paper reports two speci c improvements in the nite-dimensional nonlinear dynamical modeling of marine thrusters. Previously reported four-quadrant models have employed airfoil theory considering only axial uid ow and using sinusoidal lift/drag curves. First, we present a thruster model incorporating the e ects of rotational uid velocity and inertia on thruster response. Second, we report a...
