| Abstract | It was observed when testing large models of sailing yachts in the NRC/IMD towing tank that lasting flow patterns were being produced in the tank, which could affect force measurements. Some assessments of the phenomena were made, but the nature of the flow was not well understood. Attempts to minimize the circulation effects on model testing were primarily made by trial and error. This report presents results from a preliminary CFD study (2D) of the dynamics of this induced flow. |
