A new validated open-source numerical tool for the evaluation of the performance of wind-assisted ship propulsion systems

Wind propulsion is envisioned as one of the solutions for the decarbonisation of maritime transport, as it offers high efficiency in terms of primary energy comsumption. Many wind propulsion systems already exist at various development stages, but the uncertainties over their performance is a strong...
