Abstract:

This report documents Trade-off Analysis of Propulsion Systems for Submersibles TAPSS, a FORTRAN computer program designed to aid in optimizing the size, cost, and performance of a preprogrammed, dry, underwater vehicle by performing propulsion-related parameter trade-offs. The program calculates engine power, vehicle size, and approximate cost as a function of input speeds and endurance to facilitate the examination of vehicle configurations and their capability to fulfill mission requirements. The program will assist in the conceptual optimization of the system configuration. Author
