Abstract: |
In
order to design new search strategies for collaborating autonomous underwater
vehicles, a novel simulator was developed to model the diffusion of
groundwater discharge in shallow coastal waters. The simulation allows for
the evaluation of new search strategies without running the risk of losing
expensive hardware during the field testing. The
developed simulation is based on cellular automata. In order to reduce
computational complexity, a novel two-dimensional cellular automaton with
additional depth-information for each cell is used to simulate a three-dimensional
nearshore environment. The
influence of different neighbourhoods and cell shapes on the behaviour of the
cellular automaton is examined and discussed. Results show a faster rise of discharged
fluorescent dissolved organic matter for hexagon cells. Also all examined
neighbourhoods converge to a stable state after a finite number of iterations. |
