Abstract
An apparatus (100) comprises at least one processor (110,210,530,550,385) and at least one memory (120,220) including computer program code. The memory (120,220) and the processor (110,210,530,550,385) are configured to, in respect of a ground-supported or liquid-supported body (401,411) travelling or to travel through a fluid, receive a determined magnitude and direction of a current within a forthcoming fluid zone (410,420), the magnitude and direction of the current determined from particulates suspended in the forthcoming fluid zone (410,420), and process the determined magnitude and direction of the current to provide for at least one of: a change in one or more fluid dynamical properties of the body (401,411), or navigation control of the body (401,411).
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- in respect of a ground-supported or liquid-supported body travelling or for travel through a fluid, receive a determined magnitude and direction of a current within a forthcoming fluid zone, the magnitude and direction of the current determined from particulates suspended in the forthcoming fluid zone, and
- process the determined magnitude and direction of the current to provide for at least one of:
- (i) a change in one or more fluid dynamical properties of the body;
- or
- (ii) navigation control of the body.
A method comprising:
- in respect of a ground-supported or liquid-supported body travelling or for travel through a fluid, receiving a determined magnitude and direction of a current within a forthcoming fluid zone, the magnitude and direction of the current determined from particulates suspended in the forthcoming fluid zone, and
- processing the determined magnitude and direction of the current to provide for at least one of:
- (i) a change in one or more fluid dynamical properties of the body;
- or
- (ii) navigation control of the body.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing at least the following:
- in respect of a ground-supported or liquid-supported body travelling or for travel through a fluid, receive a determined magnitude and direction of a current within a forthcoming fluid zone, the magnitude and direction of the current determined from particulates suspended in the forthcoming fluid zone, and
- process the determined magnitude and direction of the current to provide for at least one of:
- (i) a change in one or more fluid dynamical properties of the body;
- or
- (ii) navigation control of the body.
