  • Performance of Wing Sail with Multi Element by Two-Dimensional Wind
    Bulletin of the JSME Vol.10, No.2, 2015 Journal of Fluid Science and Technology Performance of wing sail with multi element by two- dimensional wind tunnel investigations Hiroyuki FURUKAWA*, Alexander W. BLAKELEY **, Richard G.J. FLAY ** and Peter J. RICHARDS ** * Department of Mechanical Engineering, Meijo University 1-501 Shiogamaguchi, Tenpaku-ku, Nagoya 468-8502, Japan E-mail: [email protected] **Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Auckland 314-390 Khyber Pass Road, Auckland, New Zealand Received 30 April 2015 Abstract Following the 33rd America's Cup which featured a trimaran versus a catamaran, and the recent 34th America's Cup in 2013 featuring AC72 catamarans with multi-element wing sail yachts sailing at unprecedented speeds, interest in wing sail technology has increased substantially. Unfortunately there is currently very little open peer- reviewed literature available witha focus on multi-element wing design for yachts. The limited available literature focuses primarily on the structures of wings and their control, rather than on the aerodynamic design. While there is substantial available literature on the aerodynamic properties of aircraft wings, the differences in the flow domains between aeroplanes and yachts is significant. A yacht sail will operate in a Reynolds number range of 0.2 to 8 million while aircraft operate regularly in excess of 10 million. Furthermore, yachts operate in the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer and require high maximum lift coefficients at many apparent wind angles, and minimising drag is not so critical. This paper reviews the literature onwing sail design for high performance yachts and discusses the results of wind tunnel testing at the Yacht Research Unit at the University of Auckland.

We follow their progress and will give regular updates on their journey to Defend the America’s Cup. Emirates Team New Zealand 15 February , 2019. THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE BIRTH OF FOILING IN THE AMERICA'S CUP. In late August 2012 a grainy photo of a boat emerged online. Most hardened America’s Cup follow- ers will clearly remember the image that was the talk of the sailing world for many weeks. A high angle shot, looking down on a giant 72 foot red and black Emirates Team New Zealand catamaran seemingly flying above the waters of the Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour. Debate raged: “OMG photoshopped of course,” “Can't be foiling - anyone can see fro m that picture they're simply launched off a wave.” “On close inspection it is photoshop. You can see where the bow and stern were in the water. They have cut, lifted an pushed the boat forward 1/2 a boat length. Shame. That was cool for about 5 min” An image that was so far outside the realms of the imagination of most people - but not those inside the base of Emirates Team New Zealand. The cat was out of the bag, foiling had arrived. But there had been many months of secretive R&D meet- ings at Emirates T eam New Zealand that went into developing a concept that would transform the world of America’s Cup racing forever. Rewind to 2011, two years out from the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco.
