Book excerpt: *This is THE book on the aero- and hydromechanics of sailing.*Contains full and scientifically justified descriptions of the dependence of the performance of sailing yachts on their configuration and the underlying physical mechanisms.*Bridges the gap between the few existing books on the aero- and hydrodynamics of sailing and the more popular books that deal with the "what and how" but not with the "why" of sailing yacht configurations and boat trim.*New edition that also covers the recently evolved technology of foiling.REVIEWS (OF THE 1ST EDITION):From the December 2015 issue of the Dutch sailing magazine "Zeilen" (translated):"Decades of research and development in fluid dynamics, but also his experience as a cruising yachtsman, have put author Joop Slooff in the position to write a new standard work on the behavior of keel yachts in wind and water. In his preface the author states that it is his ambition to bridge the gap between the few existing scientific books on the aero- and hydrodynamics of sailing and the more popular books that describe the 'what' and 'how' but not so much the 'why' of boat trim. For this purpose the author treats the basic principles of the forces acting on a sailing yacht, but he describes also how these principles translate to the boat and its sails.... In the world of sailing Slooff is known for his involvement in the development of the winged keel of the America's Cup winning yacht Australia II. His book is an excellent work for the dedicated yachtsman who is interested in the 'why' and the scientific background of the behavior of his or her boat in wind and water".Comment (Dec. 2015) by Edward Canepa, assistant professor in Fluid Machinery at the University of Genova (Italy):"For some years I'm teaching a course on "Sailing Yacht Design" in the master class of yacht design. Actually, I've found your book the best one about physics of a sailing yacht I've ever read". Comment (Dec. 2015) by Frank Woodward, former computational fluid dynamicist at the Boeing Company and Analytical Methods Inc., and a cruising yachtsman (retired):"...very impressed, no wonder it took so long. It is 'everything I ever wanted to know about sailing but was afraid to ask' !"

Download or read book Marine Hydrodynamics 40th anniversary edition written by J. N. Newman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook that offers a unified treatment of the applications of hydrodynamics to marine problems. The applications of hydrodynamics to naval architecture and marine engineering expanded dramatically in the 1960s and 1970s. This classic textbook, originally published in 1977, filled the need for a single volume on the applications of hydrodynamics to marine problems. The book is solidly based on fundamentals, but it also guides the student to an understanding of engineering applications through its consideration of realistic configurations. The book takes a balanced approach between theory and empirics, providing the necessary theoretical background for an intelligent evaluation and application of empirical procedures. It also serves as an introduction to more specialized research methods. It unifies the seemingly diverse problems of marine hydrodynamics by examining them not as separate problems but as related applications of the general field of hydrodynamics. The book evolved from a first-year graduate course in MIT's Department of Ocean Engineering. A knowledge of advanced calculus is assumed. Students will find a previous introductory course in fluid dynamics helpful, but the book presents the necessary fundamentals in a self-contained manner. The 40th anniversary of this pioneering book offers a foreword by John Grue. Contents Model Testing • The Motion of a Viscous Fluid • The Motion of an Ideal Fluid • Lifting Surfaces • Waves and Wave Effects • Hydrodynamics of Slender Bodies
Download or read book Sail Performance written by C. A. Marchaj and published by rrp. This book was released on 2003 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sail Performance, based on C A Marchaj's classic Sailing Theory & Practice, has established itself as the standard work on the subject and is now acclaimed as a milestone in sailing literature. From wind tunnel tests which he has conducted, Tony Marchaj describes how the factors of wind speed, sail area, sail shape, sail setting, the hull, angle of heel, wind gradient and steadiness of the wind all affect sail power, and why certain rigs are superior in power and efficiency to others. Sail Performance is a major work which is acclaimed for its analysis of the factors that contribute to an efficient sailing rig.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why does sail boat performance depend on the configuration and trim of boat and sails? This book provides the yachtsman with answers in a relatively straightforward account of the physical mechanisms of sailing. It presents an accessible overview of the fluid dynamic aspects of sailing and sailing technology, addressing both aeromechanics and hydromechanics. Readers are provided with the basic principles of physics and general mechanics that will assist their understanding of the fluid mechanics of sailing yachts. Rich appendices cover not only in-depth,mathematical-physical treatments and derivations for those wishing to explore further, but also helpful summaries of basic mathematical notions for those wishing to refresh their knowledge. This work explores keel yachts, specifically single-masted mono-hulls with ‘fore-and-aft’, Bermuda-rigged sails. However, much of it is applicable to other types of sailing vessels such as multi-hulls, yachts with multiple masts, windsurf boards and the like. Yachtsmen, yacht designers and professionals of sailing technology will all find something of interest in this work which provides explanations of the mechanics of sailing in a way that is scientifically justified, whilst remaining appealing to those wishing to use their knowledge on-board a sailing vessel.
