Towards a Digital Twin for Open-Frame Underwater Vehicles Using Evolutionary Algorithms
Source abstract
Abstract
Hydrodynamic coefficients determine the behavior of all simulated underwater vehicles. Therefore, it is essential to precisely define their values when aiming to replicate a real vehicle. Generally established procedures for obtaining them tend to have limitations, especially in transient responses. To address these issues, this paper proposes a comprehensive methodology for obtaining the hydrodynamic coefficients of an underwater vehicle. The main novelty is the combination of empirical measurements as a first step and evolutionary algorithms as a final step for optimizing the coefficients. The proposed methodology is described and applied to a commercially available remotely operated vehicle (ROV) BlueROV2, followed by analyzing the results in detail and including several tests that compare it to the real vehicle to validate its adequacy.
