Ciortan, C. and Guedes Soares, C. (2006), “A Simulation of the Airflow around Sails with Known Geometry”, Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Marine Sciences and Technologies (BlackSea ´06), 25-27 September, Varna, Bulgaria, pp. 311-315
Airflow around yacht sails with imposed final geometry is simulated using a CFD code, reproducing experimental tests carried in a wind tunnel. Two configurations were considered: one, a mast-main sail and the other a mast-jib-main sail. Both configurations were studied in the same flow conditions of air velocity and incidence angle. The grid is structured-like next to the sails and unstructured in the rest of the domain. The turbulence model used is k-epsilon.
