.... For the example of a Capesize bulk carrier the economic viability of installing a WAPS is assessed by studying the impact of several parameters. A performance prediction program is set up for a Capesize bulk carrier. Several modelling parameters such the hull side force, propulsive efficiency, WAPS aerodynamic...

... balance to the sail side force and the heeling moment. Furthermore, their operative design conditions derive from the global equilibrium of forces and moments acting on the system which might vary in a very wide range of values. The result is a design problem defined by a large number of variables...
