세일링 요트 (sailing yacht)는 세일 (sail)의 양력을 주로 이용하여 추진력을 얻는다. 요트 경주에서와 같이 항주 속도가 중요한 문제에서는 세일의 성능이 좋을수록 빠른 속도를 낼 수 있기 때문에 세일 주변의 유동해석을 통한 성능 추정과 효율의 최적화는 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 경주요트의 형태로써 지브 세일 (jib sail)과 메인 세일 (main sail) 그리고 한 개의 마스트(mast)로 구성된 슬루프(sloop)형 요트에 대한 유동해석을 하였다. 풍상범주 상태에서의 30ft급 세일링 요트인 KORDY-30의 jib sail과 main sail의 높이에 따른 단면을 모델링하였다. 슬루프형 요트의 경우, 세일링 요트에서 jib sail과 main sail이 각각 단독으로 있는 형태의 요트보다 세일의 개수가 증가함에 따라 양력이 증가하지만 항력도 따라서 증가 할 것이라고 가정했다. 따라서 jib sail의 각도를 다양하게 변화시켜 양력계수와, 항력계수의 변화를 살펴보고 그에 따른 양항비의 분석을 통해 최적의 효율을 갖는 jib sail의 각도를 알아보았다.

It is important to understand the flow characteristics around two sails of a sloop yacht. In this paper a computational aerodynamic investigation is performed over sail-like airfoils similar to the main and iIb sails of a 30 feet sailing yacht. Lift and drag are calculated for various conditions of slit distance between the two sails and overlapped length of the jib sail. The thrust and CE(center of effort) of the sail system are obtained. It is found that the combination of two sails produces the thrust force larger than the sum of the thrust force of each sail standing separately and the slit distance of the two sails are important factor to increase lift force.

Most yacht sails are made of thin fabric, and they have a cambered shape to generate lift force; however, their shape can be easily deformed by wind pressure. Deformation of the sail shape changes the flow characteristics over the sail, which in turn further deforms the sail shape. Therefore, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis is applied for the precise evaluation or optimization of the sail design. In this study, fluid flow analyses are performed for the main sail of a 30-foot yacht, and the results are applied to loading conditions for structural analyses. By applying the supporting forces from the rig, such as the mast and boom-end outhaul, as boundary conditions for structural analysis, the deformed sail shape is identified. Both the flow analyses and the structural analyses are iteratively carried out for the deformed sail shape. A comparison of the flow characteristics and surface pressures over the deformed sail shape with those over the initial shape shows that a considerable difference exists between the two and that FSI analysis is suitable for application to sail design.

Turbulent flows around yacht sails were calculated to access the applicability of CFD for yacht design. Multi-block grid system was generated by using Gridgen package and Fluent was used to calculate flows around two sail system. A 30ft class sailing yacht designed and tested by KRISO was chosen. The interference effect between main and jib sails was analyzed. Pressure distribution on the sails was obtained and the center of effort was estimated. It was found that the jib angle affects the flow phenomena around a main sail due to the change of inflow angle. The location of center of effort is much different from the empirical formula based on a simple geometrical consideration. The calculated results are compared with the previous numerical and experimental results. Both CFD results are similar, but there are some discrepancies with experimental data. However, it is certain that CFD can be a very useful tool for yacht design.

Due to the limitation of size of the test section, blockage effects could not be avoided in the model test of yacht sails for common wind tunnels. In this paper, a numerical analysis is performed to investigate the blockage effects on the lift and drag forces measured from wind tunnel experiments for a 30 feet sloop yacht sail. Complex airflows around the jib and main sails including three-dimensional flow separations are calculated for various close-hauled conditions. It is found that the blockage of a wind tunnel changes the flow separation and consequently the lift and drag forces of the sails, especially the main sail, reduce and increase, respectively, due to the blockage effects.

It is important to understandflow characteristics and performances of sailsfor both sailors and designers who want to have efficient thrust of yacht. In this paper the viscous flows around sail-like rigid wings, which are similar to main and jib sails of a 30 feet sloop, are calculated using a CFD tool. Lift, drag and thrust forces are estimatedfor various conditions of gap distance between the two sails and the center of effort of the sail system is obtained. Wind tunnel experiments are also carried out to measure aerodynamic forces acting on the sail system and to validate the computation. It is found that the combination of two sails produces the lift force larger than the sum of that produced separately by each sail and the gap distance between the two sails is an important factor to determine total lift and thrust.

To establish a vessel safety management system for improving the safety of vessel's traffic and preventing vessel's traffic accidents, the state of marine traffic in the Busan South Port was investigated and analyzed as preliminary survey of the countermeasures. As a result of the study, there are 1,158 vessels in a day, 48 vessels in an hour, and the maximum traffic is about 118 vessels between 16:00 and 17:00 hours everyday, which requires to establish and operate a traffic control system necessarily for ensuring vessel's traffic safety. Furthermore, passages of tanker, passenger ship, cargo vessel and government vessel showed to sail along main traffic lane to be obtained enough sea depth at the survey area. However, passages of fishing vessel and launch showed to sail freely at all survey area owing to outstanding maneuverability and a shallow draft. Some vessels of launch sailed along main traffic lane, but other vessels crossed to sail it. The passages to cross main traffic lane is higher the risk of collision. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed for the operation of the Busan South Port management system and the prevention of marine pollution.

In this paper a modern sailing boat for our costal area was developed by using the traditional boat hull form. Main particulars of design ship were determined by using the statistical values. Hull form was varied from the traditional boat hull form which was selected by the previous study and modified to fit Lateen sail. The appendage, rudder and keel were designed for good performance of against wind sailing. The performance of hull form was examined and the results were shown.

In this study the writer would like to study the art of navigation in the Era of Silla. For the purpose of this study, the writer studied ship's log book of Ennin's Diary, the ancient ship's structures of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, winds and ocean currents around Korean Peninsular which effect the navigation of sailing ship, and ancient reference books and materials. The result of this study. in the ship's structure in the Era of Silla. bottom structure is considered flat and V-Shaped type, and sailing ship had anchor, sail, considerable deckhouse, transverse bulkhead. And the ship's main materials of sailing ship was wood. partially used irons in the panting structures. In the art of navigation, navigators used winds, ocean current, anchor, sail, depth and color of sea water, lights, ballast. Especially navigators used astrologers and geomancers for astronomical observation, weather forecast, natural phenomena.
