Effect of a pressure-equalizing film on the trajectory and attitude robustness of an underwater vehicle considering the uncertainty of the platform velocity

A vertically moving underwater vehicle with an air film attached to its exterior can significantly weaken the hydrodynamic disturbances caused by launch conditions. To quantify the ability of a pressure-equalizing film to improve the trajectory and attitude robustness of vehicles under an uncertain...
