supporting structure (mast and boom) of the sail system and the curvature of sail
membrane, sail systems also have a partially separated flow.
In this work, it is introduced the sectional method as a sail system flow analysis tool.
The sectional method uses the surface discretization and it is based in the simultaneous
approach for viscous-inviscid interaction but, it works independently to the initial panel
mesh and inviscid panel method calculation, permitting the adjustment of sectional
points to have a better local convergence.
The sectional method is applied to the detection of separated flow regions by means
of integral boundary layer parameters investigation. The investigation is used in cases
of weak separation and strong separation, when analysing mast and sail configurations.
The weak separation detection is applied to a three-dimensional sail shape in a sail
design problem: the study of parameters such as twist and section curvature in order
to control separation on the sail.","abstract_html":"Yacht sail systems are subjected to low speed and transitional flow.
