Description
At AGH University in Krakow, I am part of the student organization AGH Solar Boat focuses on building Solar-powered electric hydrofoil boats. The most efficient way of increasing the lift force of a hydrofoil is by changing the angle of attack of the whole foil. To obtain it regulation is necessary. Our adjustment mechanism has large dimensions compared to the competition and poorly matched shapes which causes great resistance to the movement of the boat. To avoid that problem, designing casing with better, more hydrodynamic shapes would be an appropriate solution. After designing several CAD models, CFD research has been carried out. From the results of simulations, there were selected most required models, mounted on the mechanism.
