摘要

In the previous two chapters, numerical simulations were used to study the interaction between internal solitary waves and two key appendages of underwater vehicles—propellers and rudders—revealing significant influences and certain operational patterns. To further verify whether the conclusions drawn from the research can provide practical maneuvering strategies in real environments, additional studies are necessary. Physical experiments are one of the important means for investigating the interaction between internal waves and underwater vehicles. However, due to limitations in laboratory wave tank dimensions, vehicle size, and post-processing, most current research on the interaction between internal solitary waves and underwater vehicles relies on numerical simulations. The few experimental studies on internal solitary waves and vehicle interactions have used fixed or towed vehicles, allowing only analysis of flow fields or vehicle forces, making it difficult to obtain the true motion response of vehicles under internal wave conditions. Moreover, these studies cannot explore the influence of different appendage control strategies on vehicles in an internal solitary wave environment.
