In the past few years, the level set method has been extensively used for the numerical solution of interface problems in different domains, from free-surface and mean curvature flows to image processing. A crucial ingredient in every implementation of the ...
The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier- Stokes (RANS) equations to the design of sailing yachts is becoming more commonplace, particularly for the America's Cup. Drawing on the experience of the Ec ...
This paper presents a review of the mathematical models which can be adopted to describe the different physical phenomena characterizing the flow around a sailing yacht. The complete model accounting for laminar-turbulent transition regime, free-surface dy ...
The subject of this thesis is the numerical simulation of viscous free-surface flows in naval engineering applications. State-of-the-art numerical methods based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are used to predict the flow around different cl ...
In the past few years, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool in the design and optimization of racing sailboats and in particular America's Cup yachts. The prevalent role of CFD in the design process is demonstrated by the number ...
In the last two decades, the level set method has been extensively used for the numerical solution of interface problems in different domains. The basic idea is to embed the interface as the level set of a regular function. In this paper we focus on the nu ...
