Multi-Domain Co-Simulation and Coupled Dynamics of a Foldable Wave Energy Converter for In Situ UUV Recharging
To address the limited endurance of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) during long-duration missions, this study proposes a foldable and retractable wave energy converter (WEC) conformally integrated with the UUV hull. A two-degrees-of-freedom heave-coupled dynamic model of the float–UUV system is established, and par...
