Identification of Beneficial and Detrimental Structure Locations Around Flettner Rotors Using Topology-Optimization-Inspired Sensitivity Fields
Niklas Kühl
Flettner rotors are highly sensitive to their surrounding flow field and may be significantly affected by nearby ship structures, deck cargo, and superstructures. Assessing the aer…
