Experimental Evaluation of Viscous Hydrodynamic Force Models for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

A comparison of viscous hydrodynamic force models is presented, with application on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The models considered here are \emph{quasi-steady}, meaning that force is expressed as a function of instantaneous vehicle state. This is in contrast to physical reality, whe...
