Three-Dimensional Modified Cross-Section Hydrofoil Design and Performance Study by Hongpeng Cao, Yudong Xie, Zilei Ji

“…The results show that compared with the flat wing, the peak drag of the variable section hydrofoil with <i>λ</i> = 0.5 is reduced by 9.3%, the pitching moment is reduced by 23.1%, and the average power is raised by 17.4%. If the appropriate reduction in the cross-section coefficient is too small, it will exacerbate the wing tip vortex shedding, the hydrofoil surface pressure will be too concentrated, and the hydrofoil motion stability will be reduced. …”
