Abstract
To bring down the operating costs in maritime traffic expenditure, the usage of fuel has to be reduced. For this the only possible solution is that to find alternative energy sources. In open sea easily available energy sources are solar energy and wind energy. Among them Wind energy is best suited for serving the purpose due to its availability and ease of transformation. In the present study the effect of wind sail on ship is analysed. Wind sail was modelled numerically using CFD technique. The influence of the main sail design variables such as draft, camber and angle of attack due to the forces coefficients of sail. One sail model was developed, and sail model was simulated at an 90 °angle of attack for maximum thrust .And conduct structural analysis for the sail model.
