Marine Propulsion by Computer Simulation The progressive advancements in marine transportation are mainly based upon the increased demand in high speed and light craft which emphasises on lightweight construction and uses narrower hull design forms. Primary considerations for the propulsion system are given to the performance and reliability in order to attain ships' high speed and power requirements in commercial passenger service. Gas turbines have, therefore, been considered as a potential option for these types of applications, although diesel engines have dominated the fields of marine propulsion for many years. This paper presents the development of computer simulation for a gas turbine propulsion system. The simulation is performed to analyse the dynamic performance of a gas turbine in relation to various operation modes. The simulation codes are written in SIMULINK. This is considered as the first attempt of applying SIMULINK for marine propulsion system simulation. Results on the dynamic performance of a gas turbine propulsion system are presented and discussed in the paper.
