The Naval Engineer Ignazio Maria Viola that during his Ph.D. was involved in the computational and experimental fluid dynamics investigation in the last America’s Cup, sharpened three groups’, ranging from private to public and academic environment, enthusiasm to investigate the up-today capabilities of the Computational Fluid Dynamics. The research team composed by three Ph.D. Engineers, Ignazio Maria Viola, Raffaele Ponzini (CILEA) and Giuseppe Passoni (Politecnico di Milano), have overreached the billion cells frontier investigating the aerodynamic of a yacht sailing downwind with a mainsail and an asymmetrical spinnaker. Regione Lombardia, within the LaborLab project for the Technical-Scientific environment, has financially supported the training grant of PhD. Ing. Viola. CILEA (interuniversity consortium for information and communication technologies) has made available the new super-cluster named Lagrange, 135th in the world supercomputer ranking. Politecnico di Milano has supported the research with his internationally well recognized know-how in the fluid dynamic science. Ansys Inc. has supported the research donating 1024 parallel licenses of the world’s leader CFD code Fluent.
