Detailed Documentation

This project presents a detailed MATLAB/Simulink simulation program for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), complete with supporting S-functions and M-files for educational reference. The simulation implements key AUV dynamics including hydrodynamic modeling, propulsion system control, and navigation algorithms through carefully designed subsystems. The included S-functions demonstrate custom block implementation for specialized vehicle dynamics, while the M-files provide parameter initialization, post-processing analysis, and control algorithm validation. Given the limited availability of AUV simulation resources, this contribution aims to help researchers and engineers better understand AUV operational principles and simulation methodologies. The program serves as a valuable learning resource for those interested in underwater vehicle technology, offering practical insights into motion control implementation, sensor integration approaches, and underwater navigation system simulation.
