It is important to understand flow characteristics and performance of sails for both sailors and designers who want to have an efficient thrust of yacht. In this article, the airflow around yacht sails with imposed final geometry is simulated using a CFD reproducing full scale measurements. The code is a commercial viscous CFD based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Three sets of sails are considered: two mainsails alone and one set of mainsail with jib and the parameters in study are mainly the lift, drag, center of effort and pressure coefficient over the sails. The results are compared with both experimental data and numerical computations obtained of other studies. It is concluded that there is good agreement between numerical calculations and full scale data. | |
