The bio-methane B9 Organic puts in the grid is matched by the LNG B9 Shipping takes out to use in ships – green gas

16
Wind Tunnel & Tank Testing Tank Testing Velocity Prediction Program Wind Tunnel Testing To achieve the best possible sailing performance, optimising the interaction between the hull and the rig is key. The rig has to generate enough power to overcome the resistance of the hull, but the hull also has to provide the grip in the water, to stop the ship slipping sideways due to the sail forces. The information from both the tank testing and the wind tunnel testing is used within a Velocity Prediction Program for the ship, which estimates the sailing performance of the vessel given a variety of wind strengths. The more these three methods are used in conjunction, the more performance of the ship can be improved and optimised.
