Fluid-Structure Interaction Analyses for Hydro-Elastic Tailoring of a Windsurfer Fin

A fully iterative ‘two-way’ fluid-structure interaction (FSI) tool of a commercially available composite windsurfer fin was developed, which was then used to investigate the normally hidden fin behaviour for a range of typical sailing conditions. The ‘two-way’ FSI analysis gave significantly better...
