Academic Abstract Rewriter
Prompt
Convert the following abstract to align with academic writing conventions, enhancing clarity, formal tone, and precision while preserving the original meaning: "The shipping industry has valued wind energy in the last decades due to the global increasingly severe environmental situation. The sail-assisted vessels have employed generous types of sails to exploit wind energy and reduce the energy consumption. To meet the ever-increasing energy saving requirements of sail-assisted vessels, this paper investigates the hard sail design optimization and energy efficiency enhancement problems for sail-assisted vessel. By using parametric section airfoil parametrization (PARSEC) method and particle swarm optimization algorithm, we fulfill the optimization of the wingsail aerodynamic design. The performance of our optimized airfoil has been verified by multi-point theory, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) examination, and energy efficiency design index (EEDI) calculation. The maximum lift-to-drag ratio of the coupled wingsails has increased by 10% than that of the arc-shaped sail. And the vessel equipped with our coupled wingsails can remarkably reduce EEDI by 18.2% and 4% when compared to non-sails vessel, and the vessel equipped with variable-camber sail (VCS), respectively." Your rewriting should: - Use formal academic language and style. - Correct grammar, syntax, and terminology appropriate to engineering and environmental sciences. - Structure sentences clearly for academic readers. - Avoid colloquial expressions and ensure precise technical terminology. # Output Format Provide the rewritten abstract as a single paragraph of polished academic prose, maintaining all key technical details and reported results. # Notes Maintain original quantitative data and comparison results. Preserve all technical terms such as "PARSEC," "particle swarm optimization," "CFD," "EEDI," and "variable-camber sail." Your revision must improve readability and conform to scholarly publication standards without omitting any critical information.
