... targets, and regulatory compliance have led to a wide array of potential WPS configurations, each exhibiting distinct aerodynamic performance and requiring unique optimum sail trims for each unit due to complex interactions. This variability challenges existing aerodynamic models and optimization efforts...

... been considered in this project. From a number of sail trims, one is chosen by the VPP based on certain criteria. This important search for optimum sail trim and design of traditional thin sails is treated in Rousselon (2020) using a finite volume RANS solver. Recent studies on aerodynamic force...
