Remote sensing of the nearshore zone using a rotary-wing UAV

Kilian Vos

The objective of this project is to develop a low-cost and flexible solution for mapping the nearshore bathymetry using a small quadcopter that hovers above the surf zone. ...

Axisymmetric Tokamak Equilibria computed with a Predefined Safety Factor Profile as CHEASE input

Olivier Sauter, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle

The CHEASE code, which has been developed at the Swiss Plasma Center, generates an accurate reconstruction of toroidal magnetohydrodynamics equilibria by numerically solving the Grad-Shafranov equation. Having demonstrated its ability to achieve good conve ...

Dynamic Product Portfolio Management with Life Cycle Considerations

Ralf Seifert, Jean-Sébastien Tancrez, Isik Bicer

We consider a portfolio of products in which each product probabilistically transitions through various life cycle stages. The evolution through these life cycle stages is impacted by both marketing support and product launch decisions, which are bound by ...

Karahnjukar dam spillway: Comparison of operational data and results from hydraulic modelling

Michael Pfister

The Karahnjukar dam spillway is the spillway for the Halslon reservoir, the main reservoir for the 690 MW Karahnjukar Hydroelectric Project in East Iceland. The spillway consist of a 140 m long overflowing weir with a capacity of 2250 m3/s which discharges ...
