Abstract:
To address insufficient range and step speed variation of a lightweight torpedo in sea trial, the fault trees of insufficient range and step speed drop are established, and the causes of the abnorma l phenomena are analyzed relating to the power system,the homing system and the power supply system from the aspects of whole torpedo’s power supple switching, enery conservation,noise analysis and torque balance. The conclusions are drawn that the insufficient tange is owing to gas leakage of steam d istributing valve, and the step speed variation is due to power supply switching. Some corresponding counterm easures are suggested for the faults.

[Abstract](1136) [PDF 218KB](634)

Abstract:
The application of time reversal technique in underwater acoustic communication can significantly reduce the intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by multi-path propagation, and increase the communication rate by using multi-path propagation feature in the ocean channel. However, a vertical linear array is required in the traditional time reversal communication, which results in high complexity and high power dissipation of multi-node communication networks. This paper proposes a distributed time reversal communication scheme by using the hard ware resources of independent nodes of the underwater acoustic network instead of vertical linear array in traditional method. Simulation result reveals that the proposed distributed time reversal system can realize the focusing of multi-path signal, and reduce the ISI caused by multi-path propagation. Moreover, better system performance may be achieved by combining this technique with adaptive equalization.

Abstract:
According to the characteristics of underwater small high-speed moving target, a fast algorithm o f signal detection and parameter estimation is presented and simulated based on positive and negative hyperbolic frequency modulation (HFM) signals. A dynamic tank test of signal detection and parameter estimation of underwater small high-speed moving target is conducted by adding the time stretch factor in signal transmitting end. The echo of the high-speed moving target is sampled. A signal processing system with a core of TMS320C6701 is designed, and torpedo echo detection and parameter estimation at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) level are completed by the present fast algorithm. The results of the tank test exhibit well consistence with the simulation ones, and show that the digital signal processing (DSP) system and the fast algorithm can effectively complete the echo detection and parameter estimation of underwater small high-speed moving target at low SNR.

2010, 18(3): 192-196. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2010.03.007

[Abstract](1594) [PDF 305KB](737)

Abstract:
Acoustic scattering theory shows that acoustically soft reflectors provide higher target strength values than similarly sized hard reflectors. This study focused on the reflective properties of water bubbles and air cylinders, which show the resonance characteristics in low frequency and correspondingly provide larger target strength values. The reflective properties of the plane array of bubbles and cylinders were studied through water-tank experiment with physical models, and the bubbles or cylinders were found could be taken as a basic unit to form a combined underwater target in accordance with the requirements. The experiment demonstrated that when the wave length is much longer than the bubble spacing, the individual bubbles are not acoustically resolved, and the plane array of bubbles or air cylinders can be equivalent to a thin homogeneous air plate with reflectivity of -1.

[Abstract](1578) [PDF 207KB](742)

Abstract:
In order to effectively reduce the direct coupling interference between the transmitting antenna and receiving antenna in torpedo electromagnetic fuze, and overcome the shortcomings of the conventional methods, a new interference elimination method is put forward based on the adaptive recursive least square (RLS) algorithm. The general principle of adaptive filter is firstly analyzed, and the filtering principle and implementation flow chart of the adaptive RLS algorithm are discussed. Simulation analysis of the algorithm is carried out in MATLAB environment by considering the representative hitting parameters of torpedo electromagnetic fuze and setting different intensity of direct coupling interference. Simulation results show that by using the present interference elimination method, the direct coupling interference can be eliminated in the condition where the amplitude of the direct coupling interference is 100 000 times of the target signal’s amplitude. In addition, the method has such advantages as low calculation amount, rapid convergence and real-time data processing

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is an unmanned integrating system without umbilical cord, which can carryout various missions in complex ocean environments. In recent years, new technologies for improving AUV performance appear continually, how ever, the new techniques for testing and verifying the technologies with low cost and high efficiency are insufficient. This paper introduces the new progress of the testing techniques for AUV in the world, including the prototype based verification, virtual environment (VE), hardware-in-the-loop simulation, numerical simulation, etc. In addition, some suggestions about future research and development of the testing techniques for AUV are offered, concerning reusability, generality and integration.

2010, 18(3): 209-213. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2010.03.010

[Abstract](1306) [PDF 204KB](668)

Abstract:
Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imaging is based on the straight track model with constant velocity. The motion error estimation for ascertaining the idea l track is usually achieved by the integrated navigation with high precision. For the larger attitude error angle, nonlinear error models of strap down inertial navigation system/acoustic Doppler current profiler (SINS /ADCP) based on quaternion error are established. The simulations are performed with the scaled unscented Kalman filter (SUKF) algorithm used in the nonlinear error models and the Kalman filter (KF) algorithm in the linear error models, respectively. The results indicate that the SUKF algorithm in the nonlinear models is superior to the KF algorithm in the linear error models in the respect of navigation accuracy.

2010, 18(3): 223-227. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2010.03.013

[Abstract](1578) [PDF 405KB](815)

Abstract:
A three-dimensional, viscous, steady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is performed for investigating the flow field in the scarfed nozzle of a torpedo turbine by solving RANS-Navier-Stocks equations and RNG turbulence model. The flow detail and performance of the nozzle are studied in varying pressure ratio conditions. Numerical simulation results show that the inner complex flow characteristics in the scarfed nozzle are predicted. When the nozzle is in over-expansion state, the shock wave and flow separation appear at nozzle outlet, and the performance is degraded rapidly with the pressure ratio increasing. This situation should be avoided in nozzle design. As the pressure ratio is larger than the one at critical mass flow rate, the mass flow rate of the nozzle keeps the maximum.
