Research on the wave response characteristics of the Disc-type underwater glider near free surface
In order to explores the motion response characteristics of a disc-shaped underwater glider operating near the free surface under the influence of waves,using viscous flow CFD technology for numerical simulations.The analysis first evaluates the glider's hydrodynamic performance at large angles of attack and then examines the effects of varying wave con-ditions and distances from the free surface on its dynamic motion response.The results indicate that as the glider's speed in-creases,the extreme values of lift,drag,and pitching moment also rise.Additionally,higher wave heights and longer wavelengths lead to greater dive distances,reduced pitching angles,and slower gliding speeds.As the glider moves farther from the free surface,the impact of waves on its motion response decreases,resulting in more stable behavior.
