Abstract
This entry describes the equations of motion of ships and underwater vehicles. Standard hydrodynamic models in the literature are reviewed and presented using the nonlinear robot-like vectorial notation of Fossen (Nonlinear Modelling and Control of Underwater Vehicles. PhD Thesis, Dept. of Eng. Cybernetics, Norwegian Univ. of Sci. and Techn, 1991; 1994, Guidance and control of ocean vehicles. Wiley, Chichester; 2011). The matrix-vector notation is highly advantageous when designing control systems since well-known system properties such as symmetry, skew-symmetry, and positiveness can be exploited in the design.
