We develop and illustrate an efficient but rigorous methodology that predicts the time-optimal paths of ocean vehicles in dynamic continuous flows. The goal is to best utilize or avoid currents, without limitation on these currents nor on the number of vehicles. The methodology employs a new modified level set equation to evolve a wavefront from the starting point of vehicles until they reach their desired goal locations, combining flow advection with nominal vehicle motions. The optimal paths of vehicles are then computed by solving particle tracking equations backwards in time. The computational cost is linear with the number of vehicles and geometric with spatial dimensions. The methodology is applicable to any continuous flows and many vehicles scenarios. Present illustrations consist of the crossing of a canonical uniform jet and its validation with an optimization problem, as well as more complex time varying 2D flow fields, including jets, eddies and forbidden regions.
