Numerical Simulation of Sailing Boats: Dynamics, FSI, and Shape Optimization

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Nicola Parolini, Matteo Lombardi

The numerical simulation of free-surface flows around sailing boats is a complex topic that addresses multiple mathematical tasks: the correct study of the flow field around a rigid hull, the numerical simulation of the hull dynamics, the deformation of th ...

Computational fluid dynamics for naval engineering problems

Nicola Parolini

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 ...

Numerical simulation using RANS-based tools for America's Cup design

Mark Sawley, Nicola Parolini

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 ...

Parallel computation and analysis of the flow in a static mixer

Mark Sawley

The use of a high-performance parallel computer system has been investigated to compute the incompressible flow and mixing efficiency of a static mixer. The flow computation is performed using a conventional Eulerian approach, by resolving the governing fl ...

High-performance parallel computing for incompressible flow simulations

Mark Sawley, Michel Deville

High-performance parallel computer systems have been employed to compute a variety of three-dimensional incompressible fluid flows. Three different numerical methods have been used for the discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations, with domain decompos ...
