This paper presents a two-stage cooperative path planner for multiple autonomous underwater vehicles operating in dynamic environment. In case of static environment, global Legendre pseudospectral method is employed for collision-free paths of vehicles for the purpose of minimum time consumption and simultaneous arrival. Moreover, in order to keep the multiple autonomous underwater vehicles safe from collisions on the path segments connecting two adjacent control nodes, an adaptive intermediate knots insertion algorithm is introduced. In the on-line planning stage, the local re-planning strategy aims at avoiding collisions with unexpected dynamic obstacles by two consecutive avoidance maneuvers, and the differential flatness property of autonomous underwater vehicle is utilized, which can help the vehicles react fast enough to avoid moving obstacles.

Based on the symmetric initiation mechanism of double-wing cracks in coal rock mass induced by high-pressure electro-recoil water pressure, fracturing experiments have been performed on coal rock mass under different water pressures and discharge conditions using high-voltage electric pulse hydraulic fracturing devices. Combined with CT scans, the crack spatial distribution inside the post-break coal rock mass was analyzed and found that the edge of the water injection hole is prone to produce double-wing cracks along the drilling hole diameter. ABAQUS is used to verify the physical test and extend the test conditions, the geometric parameter change, morphological expansion rule and crack initiation mechanism of double-wing crack in coal rock mass under different discharge conditions and ground stress conditions are studied.

This paper proposes a method for passive detection of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) wakes using a cilium-inspired wake sensor (CIWS), which can be used for the detection and tracking of AUVs. First, the characteristics of the CIWS and its working principle for detecting underwater flow fields are introduced. Then, a flow velocity sensor is used to measure the flow velocities of the "TS MINI" AUV's wake at different positions, and a velocity field model of the "TS MINI" AUV's wake is established.
