Abstract

The electric field measurement based on Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) can monitor and evaluate real-time electric field of underwater targets in motion, which has the ability to adapt to harsh marine environments. However, electric field sensors generate new errors during underwater motion, and there is still absence of studies on the error theory and simulation. To address this, the error generation mechanism of Ag/AgCl electrodes induced by the flow field was analyzed in this paper. A coupled mathematical model of flow-chemical-electric multi-physical field was established for the first time, and finite element simulation analysis was carried out. The results show that the change value of electrode surface potential under the influence of flow rate is basically in agreement with the empirical formulae. R-squared value of the two fits reaches up to 0.968, and RMSE value is less than 0.003, confirming the robustness of the model and simulations. The multi-physical field coupling model and simulation method proposed in this paper can provide theoretical and methodological support for the design of electric field sensors and motion error correction.
