DEVELOPMENT OF WIND PROPULSION SYSTEM
Wind Propulsion
As wind propulsion moves from assistance to a potential primary means of propulsion, new challenges in vessel control are emerging. This research demonstrates how independently controlled rotor sails can actively manage yaw moments and maintain course stability, reducing reliance on traditional rudders. Combining CFD modelling with wind-tunnel and free-running trials, the approach offers a promising pathway for expanding the practical adoption of wind-powered shipping.
