...Thomas E. Hansen; Aaron Stern; Anirudh Thuppul; Francisco J. Diez The concept, design, and testing of an electric thruster for underwater propulsion based on the electro-osmotic principle are presented. A unique feature of the proposed electro-osmotic thruster (EOT) is the absence of dynamic...

... vehicle is limited principally by our understanding of the vehicle’s dynamics and the dynamics of the bladed thrusters commonly used to actuate dynamically positioned marine vehicles. So the dynamics of thrusters are developed and an appropriate mapping matrix dependent on the position and orientation...
