In this paper, parallel docking (parallel parking) problem for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is investigated. A mathematical model for an USV is constructed and a hierarchical control approach is implemented on this 6 degree-of-freedom model. At the control allocation level of the hierarchy, parameters of finite horizon model predictive controller (MPC) and cascaded PID controller are tuned to optimize path following performance of the vehicle. Two kinds of guidance law, line of sight (LOS), and pure pursuit (PP) are employed for waypoint traveling at the strategic level of the hierarchy. Guidance and control laws are implemented for parallel docking, which is treated as a waypoint generation problem. The path following performance and energy consumption of the USVs under the parallel docking manoeuvre are evaluated for different combinations of guidance laws and controller designs.

Docking problems of sea surface vehicles Yılmaz, İsmail Çağdaş; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) This thesis covers parallel docking (parallel parking) problem for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). First, a mathematical model for a USV with two propellers is constructed by using Newton-Euler formulation. Kinematics and dynamic equations create 6 degrees-of-freedom model. A hierarchical motion control approach is implemented on this model. Two kinds of guidance laws, line-of-sight (LOS), and pure pursuit (PP) are employed for way-point travelling at the strategic level of the hierarchy. At the control a...
Parallel, navier-stokes computation of the flowfield of a hovering helicopter rotor Geçgel, Murat; Özyörük, Yusuf; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2003) The aim of this study is to extend a parallel Fortran90 code to compute three6dimensional laminar and turbulent flowfields over rotary wing configurations. The code employs finite volume discretization and the compact, four step Runge-Kutta type time integration technique to solve unsteady, thin6layer Navier6Stokes equations. Zero6order Baldwin6Lomax turbulence model is utilized to model the turbulence for the computation of turbulent flowfields. A fine, viscous, H type structured grid is employed in the co...
Panel-method-based path planning for eVTOL in urban environment Ünal, Zeynep; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2021-01-01) All rights reserved.In this study the panel method used in fluid dynamics, is applied to the path planning problem of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles in urban environment. For an urban air mobility scenario the path planning problem of these vehicles includes the simultaneous operation of large number of vehicles around complex shaped buildings and architectural structures. Using the panel method, flow around complex shaped obstacles is modeled and calculated stream-lines of the flu...
Robust controller design for a fixed wing uav Prach, Anna; Alemdaroğlu, Hüseyin Nafiz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2009) This study describes the design and implementation of the pitch and roll autopilots for a fixed wing unmanned vehicle. A Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV), which is designed at the Middle East Technical University (METU), is used as a platform. This work combines development of the classical and robust controllers, which are used for the pitch and roll autopilots. One of the important steps in the thesis is development of the non-linear dynamic model of the UAV, which is developed in MATLAB/Simulink e...
Inverse airfoil design using the Navier Stokes equations Eyi, Sinan (Informa UK Limited, 1997-01-01) The feasibility of the use of the Navier-Stokes equations in aerodynamic design is examined. The Navier-Stokes equations can include the rotational viscous physics at transonic speeds, and hence are expected to produce more reliable designs. The target pressure is specified and a least-squares optimization is used to minimize the pressure discrepancy between the target and designed airfoils. The sensitivity analysis which determines the response of the flow to a geometry perturbation is performed based on a...
