Numerical simulation of a sailing boat

Matteo Lombardi

In this work, various aspects concerning the numerical simulation of a sailing boat are investigated. The attention is focused on simulation of the free-surface, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between wind and sails, and the dynamics of the whole bo ...

Stochastic Control and Free Boundary Problems for Sailboat Trajectory Optimization

Laura Vinckenbosch

The topic of this thesis is the study of several stochastic control problems motivated by sailing races. The goal is to minimize the travel time between two locations, by selecting the fastest route in face of randomly changing weather conditions, such as ...

Covering Cubes and the Closest Vector Problem

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier, Nicolai Hähnle

We provide the currently fastest randomized (1+epsilon)-approximation algorithm for the closest vector problem in the infinity-norm. The running time of our method depends on the dimension n and the approximation guarantee epsilon by 2^(O(n))(log(1/epsilon ...

Extreme Deuterium Excesses in Ultracarbonaceous Micrometeorites from Central Antarctic Snow

Anders Meibom, François Robert

Primitive interplanetary dust is expected to contain the earliest solar system components, including minerals and organic matter. We have recovered, from central Antarctic snow, ultracarbonaceous micrometeorites whose organic matter contains extreme deuter ...

A Perching Mechanism for Micro Aerial Vehicles

Dario Floreano, Roland Siegwart, Mirko Kovac, Jürg Markus Germann

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) with perching capabilities can be used to efficiently place sensors in aloft locations. A major challenge for perching is to build a lightweight mechanism that can be easily mounted on a MAV, allowing it to perch (attach and de ...
