On the course maneuvering the underwater supercavitating vehicles

Applied hydromechanics, Vol. 13 (85) ¹ 1, (2011) p.43-50
The lateral motion of underwater supercavitaning vehicles is investigated as a perturbation of the steady-state longitudinal motion. An investigation method consists in the computer simulation of dynamics of a supercavitating self-propelled vehicle with using the approximation model of an unsteady supercavity by G.V.Logvinovich. The comparative analysis of effectiveness of applying three control strategies for the course maneuvering the supercavitating vehicles given: the rotary disk cavitator having two degrees of freedom, the vectoring thrust, and the "bank-to-turn" control strategy.
