Abstract:

The programing report is the result of a study leading to the determination of the optimum sets of equations of motion to be used with two general types of submarine control trainers. The starting point was the Naval Ship Research and Development Center standard equations of motion for submarine simulators. Two complete submarine simulation programs using these equations are given one for six-degrees-of-freedom and one for the longitudinal three- degrees-of-freedom. A number of programs are included to assist the researcher in interpreting the results of the main simulation program. A compact submarine simulation program for use with a small computer is given and a method of generating random ocean wave amplitudes is outlined along with its program. The report describes the programs, including listing in FORTRAN, flow charts, input decks, and typical decks, and typical output sheets.
