MODERN 6 METER - STELLA

Performance Prediction, Hydrodynamic Optimization

Involved in optimizing the hydrodynamic performance of the modern 6 Metre yacht Stella as part of Juan Yacht Design Team.

The work focused on:

  • CFD-based refinement of the keel and fin shapes.
  • VPP analysis to assess the performance.

The objective was to extract competitive advantages through appendage optimization while complying with class rules.

Main tools: CFD (Star-CCM+), VPP, and Python.
