Imprint, the originator of 3D Enlightenment, made a basic and direct video on the material science of windsurfing.
In the clasp, he clarifies the material science of the breeze's power on the sail, why the board doesn't simply go downwind, how you can cruise quicker than the breeze, why the state of the sail gives lift, and how to direct the board.
This is what happens when you get your windsurfing gear on the water on a breezy day.
The breeze resembles a huge number of particles of air that will strike the sail. These particles are like a signal ball striking another ball.

At the point when the signal strikes another ball, the power is moved to the next ball, opposite to the focal point.
In the event that the breeze strikes the sail when it's at a point of around 45 degrees, the power will be moved to the sail and push it descending at a point opposite to the sail.
Since the power downwind is at a point, we can separate it into a power straight downwind and a power across the breeze or forward.
At the point when the prompt ball strikes at a shallow point, the power moved is again opposite to the resource, yet the power is a lot more modest because of the shallow point.
On the off chance that the sail has not been pulled in extremely far, the power from the breeze opposite to the sail is likewise little.
Additionally, when the signal ball strikes the ball all the more straightforwardly, the moved power is again opposite to the sail and is likewise a lot bigger.
So when the sail is pulled in very far, the power moved is straightforwardly downwind, and just a little power is created across the breeze a forward way.
Thus, in rundown, as you pull in the sail, the power across the breeze or a forward way will increment until the sail is around 45 degrees to the breeze and afterward decline again as you pull the sail in further.

Wind: A Dynamic Force
So for what reason doesn't the board simply go downwind?
The power of the breeze is a unique power and the unique power has the recipe - power in the sail is equivalent to one-half times the thickness of the broadcast appointments the speed of the breeze squared occasions the space of the sail.
The critical boundary here is the thickness of the air, which is low at 1.2 kilograms per cubic meter.
All in all, what adjusts the breeze pressure?
To respond to that, we need to look under the water. Here we will discover the balance.
As the breeze blows against the sail, the blade gets opposition pressure from the water.
Presently, this pressing factor is likewise a powerful power that can be estimated with a similar recipe: the power on the balance is equivalent to one-half times the thickness of the water times the speed of the water squared occasions the space of the blade.
The key boundary again is the thickness, and the thickness of the water is 1000 kilograms for each cubic meter which is a lot more noteworthy than that of air.
So despite the fact that the balance is a lot more modest than the sail, you're as yet ready to try not to hit straight downwind.
So once more, the balance has a wide side and a restricted side.
As we saw previously, the breeze causes a power on the sail downwind just as across the breeze.
On the off chance that we glance through the board, we can see that the downwind power is being met with the obstruction from the wide side of the blade, and the forward power is met with little opposition, and the board pushes ahead.
In the event that the board heads upwind somewhat, the point of the balance changes comparative with the breeze, and the descending obstruction gets more modest, and the forward opposition gets somewhat bigger.
On the off chance that the board heads upwind at a point of around 45 degrees, the point of the blade comparative with the breeze has now arrived at a point where the opposition against the balance downwind is about equivalent to it is the forward way.
In the event that the barricade heads and surprisingly further past 45 degrees, the point of the blade comparative with the breeze is to such an extent that the forward opposition is presently more noteworthy than the downwind obstruction, and the board will begin to head downwind, and the vessel will slow down.
By then, you've arrived at the no sail zone where you can presently don't cruise upwind.
Expanding the surface space of the blade will improve its capacity to cruise upwind. In the event that there's a daggerboard, it will likewise be simpler to cruise upwind without slippage downwind. 토토사이트

Obvious Wind and Sail Profile Shape
So how might you cruise quicker than the breeze?
As the breeze blows and you start to speed up, a revitalizing burst of energy is shaped from the movement of the board pushing ahead - actually like when you stick your head out the window of a vehicle.
These two breezes aggregately structure another breeze called the obvious breeze, which blows at a joined point of both the other two breezes.
This permits you to pull on the sail again for the most force from the breeze.
The one thing with the evident breeze is that the point of the no sail zone will likewise change, so in case you're moving quick, you won't cruise excessively far upwind without easing back down.
Does the profile state of the sail lift it upwind?
We realize that the profile state of a plane wing assists with giving lift.
The profile of a wing is formed, for example, as the breeze blows over the highest point of the wing, it makes low pressing factor above giving lift.
In the event that you take a gander at the profile state of a sail, you can see that it likewise has a similar shape.
On the off chance that we investigate a wing test system from the NASA site, the black box in the upper left shows the profile of the wing and the breeze coming from the left.

By arranging the wing profile at a point to the breeze like it would be on a windsurfer appeared in red (see the video underneath), you can see from the reenactment that the lift power appeared in the red box is really adverse, pulling the board downwind toward the orange bolt.
So is there lift upwind? The appropriate response is no.
The bended profile of the sail doesn't lift it upwind. Indeed, it pulls it down.
Things being what they are, how would you guide the board?
To begin with, to control upwind. Tip the sail back. This exchanges strain to your back foot.
This puts extra power on the rear of the board to slide downwind, causing the nose or the bow of the board to point upwind.
So to turn downwind, it's basically the same. You tip the sail somewhat forward, which squeezes your front foot.
This pushes the nose or the bow of the board downwind
