33rd WEGEMT School |
Genova, 22nd – 26th May 2000
ISBN Number 1 900 453 10 X
Published by WEGEMT
The school centered on the close examination of different propulsion plants, which have been used so far to power fast ships. The rate of development of fast ships, particularly ferries, has made the selection of the right power plant very important. For example, the service costs involved in operation, such as fuel and maintenance can determine the success or failure of the vessel type.
The school explored the following topics:
Medium and high speed diesel engines
Gas turbines
Auxiliary systems
Propellers and water jets: matching problems with the prime mover
Numerical simulation of propulsion plants
