Velocity Prediction Programs
Velocity Prediction Programs is a computational modeling framework used in sailing yacht design that predicts a yacht's performance by simulating its expected speed and behavior across a range of wind conditions and points of sail, distinguishing itself from other performance analysis tools through its integration of aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces into a polar speed diagram.
