TS4001 Integration of Naval Engineering Systems

A system-oriented approach to integrating the principles of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in the design of ship subsystems. Lectures and projects exploring engineering design tools and analysis methods to meet specified systems requirements are used. Projects on hull, mechanical and electrical ship systems design are emphasized. The impact of systems design on other systems and subsystems and on the ship, including affordability, military effectiveness and survivability at the whole ship level are considered.

Course Learning Outcomes

At the completion of the course students will be able to:

• Perform preliminary ship size estimates based on general requirements.
• Estimate ship resistance based on model test data.
• Estimate ship resistance based on preliminary design variables and similar designs.
• Perform powering calculations.
• Evaluate the optimum propeller for a ship resistance curve and operational considerations.
• Select the most efficient prime mover for a given ship resistance curve and propeller design.
• Evaluate the basic turning characteristics of a given ship based on preliminary design variables.
• Evaluate the basic seakeeping qualities of a surface ship.
• Perform fundamental tradeoffs with respect to HM&E quantities such as payload, speed, and range.
• Evaluate a measure of cost for each design and isolate the Pareto optimum points.
