A numerical investigation of the dynamic Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) of a yacht sail plan submitted to harmonic pitching is presented to address both issues of aerodynamic unsteadiness and structural deformation. The FSI model — Vortex Lattice Method fluid model and Finite Element structure model — has been validated with full-scale measurements. It is shown that the dynamic behaviour of ...

The purpose of the article is to study peculiarities forms passenger transportation on yachts and, in particular, process organizing cruise yachts. Sea and river passengers a form classified into two independent groups: yacht charter cruise. About 15% global market belongs with crew 85% – without crew. With range from EUR 1,000 more than 10,000, average cost chartering 2022 was 4,420. Croatia m...

Surveying the condition of yachts and their maintenance is great importance for functionality efficiency. Finding right approaches, expertise at different levels, design benchmarking are essential all yacht security, resulting in crew passenger safety. This report presents an evaluation a real environment documentation decision-makers strength luxury motor yacht. For good understanding problem,...

We present a case of hypersensitivity pneumonitis in a 46-year-old female working at a yacht manufacturing company. She reported a 2-month history of progressive dyspnea, chest tightness, and daytime, nocturnal, and exertional cough in temporal relationship to work where she was exposed to chemicals involved in the manufacture of yachts. Treatment with systemic antibiotic therapy, inhaled bronc...

Two current Stanford Yacht Research projects are presented, both related to the analysis and design of upwind sails, and part of a larger research effort to develop efficient and robust sail and hull shape optimisation methods. First, we discuss the in-house development of a methodology to predict and improve the flying shape and forces on America's Cup sails. We adapted and parallelized a 3D u...

Abstract In this paper, a tool able to support the sailing yacht designer during early stage of design process has been developed. Quadratic and cubic Rational Bézier curves have selected describe main defining hull yacht. The adopted approach is based upon definition set parameters, say length water line, beam waterline, canoe body draft some dimensionless coefficients according traditional wa...
