New insights into airfoil sail selection for sail-assisted vessel with computational fluid dynamics simulation
Wind energy plays a significant role in the energy consumption reduction of the sail-assisted vessels. During the navigation process, how to select the ideal airfoil sails is crucial for the vessel safety and wind energy conversion efficiency. We resolve the airfoil sails selection problem by utiliz...
