Investigating Surfboard Design with CFD and Design of Experiments

Surfboard design has long relied on empirical knowledge and costly trial-and-error testing. This article explores how Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Design of Experiments (DOE) can augment the traditional shaping process evaluating key design elements like tail rocker, width, and concave through consistent, quantitative simulation on NablaFlow's AeroCloud platform. The results align with decades of shaper intuition while opening the door to faster, more sustainable board development.
