Researches on sails and their application on modern ships is common today; however, most of these sails are low in rate of utilization of wind energy, high in occupation of space on ships and not stable under bad conditions. Our design was inspired by the concept of fanwings and rotorsails. A cross-flow fan is adopted to change the flow field around the sail with a consumption of a little power of the ship. If the increase of thrust power is more than the power consumed, it can save energy. Our numerical simulation results shows that our design is able to save energy in some conditions. This paper contains numerical simulation, comparison of different design schemes of fan-attached thrust-improving sails and the final design scheme that has reached our goal of energy saving.
