Air Pressure

This simulation shows the flow field around a traditional sailing ship.
The wind comes from behind the ship and the sails. Color indicates air pressure.
Pressure is high behind the sails and drops in front of the sails, propelling the ship forward.
Large recirculation zones form in front of the sails.
CFD simulation with Ansys Fluent and visualization with Ansys CFD-Post.
Acknowledgment: the CAD geometry for this ship was created by
Curt Monaco and Jillian Ladegard as part of their CFD class project.
