Underwater Glider Propulsion Systems VBS Part 1: VBS Sizing and Glider Performance Analysis

The Variable Buoyancy System (VBS) is a critical device in the operation of underwater gliders that should be properly sized to achieve the required vehicle propulsion; safety within the operating range; and adequate efficiency at the nominal depth rating. The VBS budget volume depends mainly on the...
