✦ Synopsis

Comments on: Dynamics and control of a towed underwater vehicle system, part 1: model development

The writers wish to congratulate the authors for their outstanding contribution and extremely useful results (Buckam et al., 2003).

On the other hand no account is taken for the reduction of cross section of the cable resulting from the presence of an axial force. This variation of cross sectional area is, in general, quite considerable in a great percentage of practical applications since the modified Poisson's ratio is larger than 1/2 which is the limiting upper bound in the case of the classical mathematical theory of elasticity (Laura et al., 1970). Obviously this effect is quite important when determining the drag force acting on the cable.

This paper presents a validation of a three-dimensional dynamics model of a towed underwater vehicle system and discusses an application of the model to improve the performance of the system during a turn maneuver. The model was validated by comparing its results to experimental sea trial data, as w
