Numerical Simulation Study on the Hydrodynamic Performance of Two Blades of Canoes

Abstract:

In order to study the interaction of flow around two full-scaled blades of Canoes which are used in sports competition, the numerical simulation is performed for computation of fluid dynamics (CFD) using Fluent, commercial software. Based on the turbulent model having been validated previously, the research is conducted to the two blades that are arranged at 12 different combinations of positions, in which the force applied on blades is also analyzed, in which the force applied on blades is also analyzed.
