What is Sail Aerodynamics: Numerical & Experimental Insights about?

This PhD thesis investigates the aerodynamic performance of sails through numerical simulations and experimental testing. The thesis studied the airflow around different sails in four scenarios. Through this research, the three-dimensional effect of the mast on sailboat performance was determined. The pressure distribution on a mainsail was also obtained. The aerodynamic performance of two classes of traditional Dhow sailboats was studied. Finally, a feasibility study of using a structural wing for propulsi
