Abstract
This study focuses on the hydrodynamic testing of a novel wave-propelled Autonomous and Surface Vehicle (ASV) called Demeter. The main objective of the study is to understand the vehicle performance in different wave conditions and its wave propulsion capability.
Experiments were conducted in the towing tank facility at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory (KHL) at the University of Strathclyde. Qualisys system is used to capture the vehicle motion in waves. Both time domain and frequency domain analyses have been conducted. The results have shown that the vehicle velocity and response in waves are highly related to their natural frequency. The data collected in the study will also be used for further numerical simulations and design optimization.
