연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

An assembly for determining speed of a supercavitating underwater vehicle during underwater travel includes a fin mounted on the vehicle aft of a cavitator portion of the vehicle and adapted to be extended outwardly beyond a hull of the vehicle and through a boundary of a gas-filled cavity around the vehicle to form a disturbance in the cavity boundary, which disturbance propagates along the boundary. An acoustic transmitter is mounted on the vehicle and directs acoustic energy toward the boundary and the disturbance. An acoustic receiver is mounted on the vehicle and receives acoustic energy reflected off the disturbance. An autopilot is mounted on the vehicle and clocks times of projection of the fin and acoustic transmission receptions of reflected acoustic energy to determine the speed of the vehicle through the water.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for determining the speed of a supercavitating underwater vehicle traveling underwater and having a hull and a cavitator capable of forming a cavity formation with a boundary, the apparatus comprising: a means for disturbing the cavity formation in order to cause a disturbance that propagates along the cavity formation boundary; a means for sensing said disturbance at a known distance from where the disturbance was caused; and a means for measuring the time difference between the time the disturbance was caused and the time the disturbance was sensed. 2. The apparatus in accordance with claim 1 wherein said means for disturbing the cavity formation comprises: a fin mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle aft of the cavitator of the supercavitating underwater vehicle, said fin adapted to extend outwardly beyond the hull of said supercavitating underwater vehicle to form a disturbance. 3. The apparatus in accordance with claim 2 wherein said means for sensing said disturbance comprises: at least one acoustic transmitter mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle for directing acoustic energy toward the boundary and the disturbance; and at least one acoustic receiver mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle at a known distance from said at least one acoustic transmitter for receiving acoustic energy reflected off of the disturbance. 4. The apparatus in accordance with claim 3 wherein said means for measuring the time difference between the time the disturbance was caused and the time the disturbance was sensed comprises: an autopilot mounted on the vehicle capable of reading the time of projection of said fin and the time of reception of reflected acoustic energy. 5. An assembly for determining the speed of a supercavitating underwater vehicle during underwater travel, the assembly comprising: a fin mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle aft of a cavitator portion of the supercavitating underwater vehicle and adapted to be extended outwardly beyond a hull of the supercavitating underwater vehicle and through a boundary of a gas-filled cavity around the supercavitating underwater vehicle to form a disturbance in the cavity boundary, which disturbance propagates along the boundary; an acoustic transmitter mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle for directing acoustic energy toward the boundary and the disturbance; an acoustic receiver mounted on the supercavitating vehicle at a known distance from the acoustic transmitter for receiving acoustic energy reflected off of the disturbance; and an autopilot mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle for recording times of projection of said fin and for recording times of receptions of reflected acoustic energy to determine the speed of the supercavitating vehicle through the water. 6. The assembly in accordance with claim 5 and further comprising an actuator mounted on the supercavitating underwater vehicle for effecting extension of said fin and for communicating such extensions to said autopilot. 7. The assembly in accordance with claim 5 and further comprising at least one additional transmitter and at least one additional receiver, all of said transmitters and receivers being in communication with said autopilot. 8. The assembly in accordance with claim 5 wherein said receiver is of an annular configuration and is disposed around said transmitter. 9. The assembly in accordance with claim 5 wherein said transmitter is covered with an acoustic lens through which the acoustic energy transmissions pass. 10. The assembly in accordance with claim 8 wherein said transmitter is covered with an acoustic lens through which the acoustic energy transmissions pass. 11. A method for determining the speed during underwater travel of a supercavitating underwater vehicle having a hull and a cavitator capable of forming a cavity formation with a boundary, the method comprising the steps of: disturbing the cavity formation in order to cause a disturbance that propagates along the cavity formation boundary; and measuring the speed of the disturbance as the disturbance propagates along the cavity boundary thereby determining the speed of the supercavitating underwater vehicle through the water. 12. The method in accordance with claim 11 wherein the step of measuring the speed of the disturbance as the disturbance propagates along the cavity boundary comprises: sensing said disturbance at a known distance from where the disturbance was caused; and measuring the time difference between the time the disturbance was caused and the time the disturbance was sensed; computing the speed of the disturbance past the supercavitating underwater vehicle and thereby the speed of the vehicle through the water by dividing said known distance from where the disturbance was caused by said time difference. 13. The method in accordance with claim 12 wherein the step of disturbing the cavity formation in order to cause a disturbance that propagates along the cavity formation boundary comprises: extending a fin mounted behind the cavitator at a forward end of the supercavitating underwater vehicle such that the fin extends through the cavity formation boundary, which disturbance propagates along the cavity boundary. 14. The method in accordance with claim 13 wherein the step of sensing said disturbance comprises: directing acoustic energy from the supercavitating underwater vehicle towards the cavity formation boundary and disturbance; and receiving acoustic energy reflected from the disturbance back to the supercavitating underwater vehicle. 15. The method in accordance with claim 14 wherein the step of measuring the time difference between the time the disturbance was caused and the time the disturbance was sensed comprises: recording the time of extending the fin; recording the time of receptions of acoustic energy reflected from the disturbance; and calculating the difference in time.
