The effect of deflector curvature on hydrodynamic performances of a double-slotted cambered otter-board was investigated using engineering models in a wind tunnel. Four different curvature (0.06,0.09, 0.12 and 0.15) were evaluated at a wind speed of 28 m/s. Parameters measured included: drag coefficient C x , lift coefficient C y , pitch moment coefficient C m , center of pressure coefficient C p , over a range of angle of attack (0° to 70°). These coefficients were used in analyzing the differences in the performance among the four otter-board models. Results showed that the maximum lift coefficient C y of the otter-board model with the curvature (0.06) of two deflectors was highest (2.020 at °=55°). The maximum C y /C x of the otter-board with the curvature (0.12) of two deflectors was highest (3.655 at °=22.5°). A comparative analysis of C m and C p showed that the stability of otter-board model with the curvature (0.12) of two deflectors is better in pitch, and the stability of otter-board model with the curvature (0.06) of two deflectors is better in roll. The findings of this study can offer useful reference data for the structural optimization of otter-boards for trawling.
