Investigation of the Effect of Leading-Edge Tubercles on Wingsail Performance

Öz:
In this study, effects of leading edge tubercles on a 2013 America’s Cup boat wingsail are investigated byviscous Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Adding tubercles on the leading edge of the sail is inspiredby humpback whales, which are fast and maneuverable animals along baleen whales thanks to theirdistinctive flippers. It has been seen from the examined studies that tubercles on the leading edge of thewings delay stall and provide better lift/drag ratio in high angle of attacks (AoA) compared to the plainwing, which might be beneficial for wingsails.A 2013 America’s Cup boat wingsail geometry is developed for measuring the effects of tubercles on itsperformance. Sinusoidal tubercles are placed on leading edge with different wave lengths and amplitudesvarying as a function of chord length. Post-stall performance of the wingsail has been improved whereasonset of stall has been observed to be identical to that of the base wingsail.
