Validation of a simple aerodynamic model capable to predict the interaction effects occuring between two generic wind propulsion systems

Validation of a simple aerodynamic model capable to predict the interaction effects occuring between two generic wind propulsion systems

In recent years wind-assisted propulsion for commercial ships has gained an increasing interest as valuable alternative to reduce fuel pollutant emissions. However, the development of feasible and commercially viable wind propulsion systems to partially (or fully) propel a ship is nowadays hindered by the difficulties of modelling the...
