During the Ship Propulsion Plants module the operating principles of marine propulsion for different types of ships will be presented, with particular attention to the aspects related to dynamics and control. Both the theoretical / methodological and practical aspects will be illustrated, with particular emphasis on advanced design and numerical / implementation aspects.
The module deals with the study of marine propulsion systems and it is performed through a detailed analysis of the several system components, taking into account the mutual interactions. The module also deals with advanced design methodologies to catch the technological trends of the sector.
The course aims to provide the students with advanced tools for the state of art design of complex propulsion systems, both from a technical and regulatory point of view. At the end of the module, the students will be able to independently evaluate different design solutions, propose new ones with the awareness of the physical principles that drive the dynamics of marine propulsion.
Knowledge of static methods for the design of marine propulsion. Basic knowledge of the principles of naval architecture. Principles of programming.
Classroom lectures and exercises, Industry expert workshops and educational visits.
The program may be modified during the course.
Ricevimento: It is mandatory to book a time slot, through the service offered by Aula Web, on the course page you will find dates and times.
