Parametric Shape and Manufacturing Optimization of Customized Kitesurf Hydrofoils

To minimize the costs of the current manufacturing of kitesurf hydrofoil wings, a workflow using a finite elements model was developed. By coupling a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis with a structural finite element analysis (FEA), an optimization based on a genetic algorithm is implemente...
