Firstly, for the mathematical model with mismatched uncertainties, the robust sliding mode function is designed based on the guaranteed cost theory, and a sufficient condition for the existence is given in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Secondly, a continuous sliding mode controller is proposed to handle the nonlinear, time - varying behavior of the vehicles. Simulation results demonstrate that the system responds rapidly and has good robust stability. Therefore, it provides theoretical references for further study on control problems of supercavitating vehicles.展开更多

The experiments reveal that pressure has a significant effect on the characteristics of the heat flux-mass flux type boiling flow instability.First.the pressure has strong effects on both the developing time and the fluctuation amplitude.Especially increasing pressure leads to decrease the fluctuating amplitude of mass flux.Then,the mass flux evolving curves under different pressures feature out a shape like a leaf.The characteristics of the heat flux-mass flux type boiling flow instability under lower pressure are very complicated,however,with increasing pressure,this type of instability is gradually suppressed.展开更多

文摘This paper focuses on robust control problems for supercavitating vehicles in the vertical plane. Firstly, for the mathematical model with mismatched uncertainties, the robust sliding mode function is designed based on the guaranteed cost theory, and a sufficient condition for the existence is given in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Secondly, a continuous sliding mode controller is proposed to handle the nonlinear, time - varying behavior of the vehicles. Simulation results demonstrate that the system responds rapidly and has good robust stability. Therefore, it provides theoretical references for further study on control problems of supercavitating vehicles.
