COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF TWIN-SKIN CLOTH SAILS FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE SAILING VESSELS
Current efforts to reduce carbon emissions have brought a resurgence of interest in sail design. Sails could be used to supplement conventional propulsion on cargo vessels or even be used on future energy ships. Energy ships are conceptual vessels that would roam the oceans harvesting energy using …
