Leo, Calculating the hull is definitely going to be a challenge, like I said earlier i'm used to things moving through air. So, I don't really...
David, I would say for calculations CUDA is the way to go. I think the results speak for itself, We dropped our computation time from 8 hrs to...
Currently we are using it for rotorcraft wake simulations. We have run hundreds of test cases and all matched up with experimental data and...
I might be a little late but, if you want help doing gpgpu computing my grad research is in CFD using gpgpu computing. Right now we are using...
Well, if you were actually interested in designing/building a wing sail, the best course of action would be to use a real CFD program and not...
I am building a one-off catamaran and I need ideas for the trampoline. I am planning on using trampoline mesh for the main material. The...
Thank you for your help. Do you have any recommendations as far as what blocks would be good to use? (brands/series not types of blocks eg....
I'm finishing up the rigging design beach cat. I need some help on choosing blocks and a rigging set up. Mainsail area 59.5 ft^2 I was going to...
Has anyone used this brand of deck plates? I was wondering if they would hold up/ stay waterproof for an 18' beach cat?...
I like the idea of a centerboard the way you put it. I have a couple more questions though. How big should should each board be and does anyone...
Yeah I read that post and I understand the differences between daggerboards and keels. My question is as far as lake/bay use is concerned would a...
I am designing a beachcat for 2-3 people that can be handled by one. I was wondering what would be best for preventing side slip. It's more of a...
The animation i posted was off of a different website, but it said it was a concept. I was just curious if anyone had tried to build it.
well, it could be transported in the bed of a shortbed truck like my ranger, or on the top of a small car. I suppose you could pack it for...
Have you ever seen any small boats use the concept in the attached picture? I was contemplating buildng a small scale model for testing, I also...
That was one of my thoughts, I just wasn't sure if it would be a huge problem since it is a beach cat. I was just looking to save...
I am working on a design for a folding beach catamaran for lake/bay use. The Hull Design is almost done, but I have a couple questions. 1)If I...
