This paper presents a comprehensive set of tank test results in both canoe body only...

... the opportunity to test FS-FLOW validate the final options. which is a potential flow code with a non linear free surface condition distributed by FRIENDSHIP CONSULTING. Numerical results for the four codes are compared with the other codes' results as with tank tests data. Those tank tests were made using...

... of the design space aiding in comprehension and optimization of high performance yachts. This paper will present selected examples from a research study based around tow tank tests and CFD simulations of a canonical high-performance racing yacht. The geometry configurations studied were fully appended...
