    What causes a change in wind direction when it hits a sail?

    Solved it with approximation. I used the following code to approximate amount of water that would flow on the opposite side and it works satisfactory! double angle2 = Math.PI - relativeSpeed.angle(vKeel); double oppositeStream = (Math.pow(angle2...

    What causes a change in wind direction when it hits a sail?

    Actually, i started to programm this game as a simple drive-your-small-boat-left-right-up-down, so i want to keep things as simple as possible (read, no turbulence :)). I'm handeling this by switching direction of vector of the sail when angle between sail and relative wind is less then PI/2...

    What causes a change in wind direction when it hits a sail?

    I'm trying to make a computer simulation of ship. Currently I'm working on a force of wind on the ship sail. This is the page which describes the basics: http://www.animations.physics.unsw.edu.au/jw/sailing.html Basicaly, wind (W - vector) has some staring direction and then that...
