Description

In this PRACE SHAPE project WB-Sails wished to implement a HPC based CFD analysis of sails and sailboats, using the XFlow dynamic simulation code. The code allows 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) for motion of the objects, for a realistic simulation of forces and moments around a boat moving in seaway.
Coupled with a FEA solver, full fluid-structure analysis including optimization is possible.
