Mast/Snorkel Performance of the DOLPHIN AUV
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The DOLPHIN is a self-propelled semi-submersible vehicle that operates under but near to the sea surface; typically one-third of the mast projects above the sea surface. As such, the hydrodynamic performance of the complete vehicle is affected by the hydrodynamic performance of the mast. The purpose of the mast is two-fold: to act as a streamlined fairing for the snorkel for the air-breathing Diesel engine, and to support the antenna that is used for communications with the vehicle. This paper examines the effect of the mast on the hydrodynamic performance of the vehicle and shows what improvements might potentially be possible through the use of an alternative design of mast. The results presented are from captive-model towing tank experiments with a half-scale model of the DOLPHIN. Two mast configurations were examined: the original mast: and an alternative mast that includes near-leading-edge air ejection from the upper half of the mast, and a 25-percent-chord trailing-edge flap on the lower half of the mast.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
