What is Hydrofoil Hydrodynamics Insights about?

This paper discusses experimental methods to better understand hydrofoil hydrodynamics in sailing. Four methods are detailed, with two presented in depth. The first method examines the interaction between vortices and the free surface, which can lead to catastrophic ventilation of hydrofoils. Experiments in a towing tank and lake clearly show a tip vortex traveling upstream and engulfing the suction side of a hydrofoil. The second method involves using particle image velocimetry to map complex flow fields a
