Prediction of velocity and attitude of a yacht sailing upwind by computational fluid dynamics
One of the most important factors in sailing yacht design is accurate velocity prediction. Velocity prediction programs (VPP's) are widely used to predict velocity of sailing yachts. VPP's, which are primarily based on experimental data and experience of long years, however suffer limitati...
