Effect of wing form on the hydrodynamic characteristics and dynamic stability of an underwater glider

We are developing a prototype underwater glider for subsea payload delivery. The idea is to use a glider to deliver payloads for subsea installations. In this type of application, the hydrodynamic forces and dynamic stability of the glider is of particular importance, as it has implications on the g...
