| description | A wave glider is a novel unmanned marine vehicle which can convert marine energy into kinetic energy. In practice, it is crucial for the wave glider system to deploy into the ocean environment efficiently and safely. Hence, the present work establishes the wave glider motion equations to analyze the deployment method. Firstly, the wave glider model is simplified in the vertical plane and the cable model is defined as mass nodes connected with a massless spring. Then, two typical deployment methods (Method 1 and Method 2) are proposed based on the multibody dynamic method, and the numerical simulation model is established to investigate the kinematic performance of two deployment methods. Lastly, the dynamic characteristic analysis is conducted to select the determined deployment method. We explain the practical advantages of Method 1, which would provide the reference for the deployment method selection. |
