Prediction of velocity and attitude of a yacht sailing upwind by computational fluid dynamics
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2016 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

Lay-up optimization for the hull of a racing sailing yacht [PDF]
Advances in Engineering Software, 2001 Deformability and buckling load of yacht hulls with fiber reinforced plastic sandwich structure depend on the stack sequence of the skins. In this work an optimization of fiber directions of the laminae for a racing yacht is proposed.

Detached Eddy Simulation of a sailing yacht [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2014 Abstract Wind tunnel experiments on a 1:15th model-scale yacht were modelled with Detached Eddy Simulations, which allowed drawing the topology of the turbulent structures in the sail wake discovering new flow features. Simulations were performed with two different grids and three different time steps.

Recent Advances in Sailing Yacht Aerodynamics [PDF]
Applied Mechanics Reviews, 2013 The analysis of sailing yacht aerodynamics has changed dramatically over the last 15 years and has enabled significant advances in performance prediction. For instance, the growth of computational fluid dynamics has significantly changed the way high-performance sails are designed.
