Sustainable Fishing Livelihoods: Exploring the Potential of Sail Technology Using Computational Fluid Dynamic in Traditional Fishing Boats
Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 05
Abstract
The potential of using sails and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to improve the sustainability of traditional fishing boats in the Maluku region. This study highlights the importance of cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability in the fishing industry. This study shows that Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is effective in simulating the thrust force generated by sails. Sails were used to generate thrust forces on conventional fishing vessels by implementing CFD methodology with three different models. Various sail shapes were incorporated into the modelling process to assess their impact on the thrust force. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis was conducted to evaluate the sail thrust force under typical operating conditions, focusing specifically on the average speed of the vessel at 15 knots in the waters surrounding the Maluku Islands. The results reveal that sail model 1 has the highest thrust force, amounting to 240.2 N. Sail models 3 and 2 generate thrust forces of 238.9 N and 227.9 N, respectively. The fluid flow conditions around sail model 1 and screen model 2 provide valuable insights into how the sail interacts with the fluid environment to produce thrust. By understanding and optimizing these fluid dynamics, designers and engineers can enhance the performance of sail models and improve their efficiency in harnessing wind power for propulsion. This study highlights the importance of ship science and technology in the design of appropriate propulsion systems for traditional fishing vessels.
