Superior maneuverability is a crucial requirement for submarines and unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). However, there is a notable gap in closed-loop velocity and trajectory control methods for UUVs based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and control algorithms. To address this, an underactua...
