Modeling and Simulation on the Underwater Trajectory of Non-Powered Vehicle Discharged from the Broadside

In order to study the underwater trajectory of the non-powered vehicle discharged from the broadside of the underwater platform, the simulation on the ascent process of non-powered vehicle was realized based on the mathematical model including the movement of the vehicle on the slope plate and in the seawater, the air chamber underwater working process etc. The simulation results show that the outlet speed and attitude of the vehicle meet the requirements of missile launching, the non-powered vehicle discharged from the broadside of the underwater platform is feasible. The simulation results with varying parameters show that the negative buoyancy of the vehicle imposes great impacts on the security of its discharge and the floating process, and the vehicle discharge depth is proportional to the floating time. The models and simulation result can be used in further research on the broadside discharging technology of the underwater platform.
