DOI: 10.1016/j.conengprac.2021.104839
Abstract: Abstract A heading angle control method is proposed for controlling underwater gliders to follow a straight line sampling path relative to the center of a dynamically moving mesoscale eddy. The constant velocity and constant acceleration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2020.107512
Abstract: Abstract The net buoyancy, driving force of underwater gliders, decreases gradually when the gliders dive or climb in the seawater, which increases the energy consumption and reduces the gliding range. The neutrally buoyant hull is… read more here.
