Class HullWindApplicator

Applies wind drag forces to the hull of a sailing vessel based on the global wind conditions. Calculates the projected area of the hull facing the wind and applies an appropriate drag force. Does not account for the waterline - dimensions should represent only the hull portion above water. Requires a WindGenerator to be present in the scene.

Syntax

public class HullWindApplicator : MonoBehaviour

Fields

dimensions

Physical dimensions of the hull above the waterline. X represents width, Y represents height, Z represents length. These dimensions are used to calculate the projected area when wind hits the hull from different angles.

Declaration

[Tooltip("The dimensions of the object (x = width, y = height, z = length).")]
[SerializeField]
public Vector3 dimensions

Field Value

Type	Description
Vector3

dragCoefficient

Drag coefficient applied to the wind force calculation. Higher values result in stronger wind resistance. Typical values range from 0.5 to 2.0 depending on hull shape and surface characteristics.

Declaration
