AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • describe the principles and methodologies of submarine design, with particular emphasis on naval architecture aspects such as resistance, propulsion, stability, and maneuverability;

  • analyze an operational requirement and derive the main submarine design requirements;

  • carry out the preliminary sizing of the main propulsion and steering systems;

  • evaluate and compare alternative design solutions against operational, performance, and technical requirements;

  • develop a preliminary submarine concept design by integrating stability and performance requirements.

TEACHING METHODS

The course is delivered through theoretical lectures, guest lectures from industry experts, as well as practical activities, and guided exercises.

Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the school's contact person for disability at the beginning of teaching to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns. Contacts of the School's disability contact person can be found at the following link Comitato di Ateneo per l’inclusione delle studentesse e degli studenti con disabilità o con DSA | UniGe | Università di Genova

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

The Naval Architecture module covers the following main topics:

  • Assessment of submarine resistance and proulsion;

  • Assesment of stability and trim aspects, and their impact on submarine design;

  • Maneuverability and its implications for submarine design.

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

Specific indications on reference bibliography will be provided by the professor at the beginning of the lectures
