DEVELOPMENT OF WIND PROPULSION SYSTEM

Wind Propulsion

By Y Arai A Masutani K Amano T Aono

Edition Issue: Wind Propulsion 2024 Publication Year: 2024 Publication Type: Conference Proceeding

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.
