Kitesurf is a sport of surfing while holding on to a specially designed kite, using the wind for propulsion. In the field of investigation or kitesurf industry, the kite aerodynamics is a crucial point. This work tries to explain the basic aerodynamic aspects of a specific kite model in a stationary situation depending on three variables: the angle of attack, the inclination angle and the intensity of wind. Using the Ansys software, a computational fluid dynamics analysis of the aerodynamic forces acting on the kite has been done. After, the forces affecting the kiter are studied. First, a difference in aerodynamic forces acting upon this kite and a common airfoil has been seen. It has been concluded that the special combination of a moveme...
