Lorenzo Tamellini: IGA-based multi-index stochastic collocation for elliptic PDEs with random data

When and where Thursday 17 October 2019, 12:00 Sala Consiglio, INM Headquarters Rome Abstract In many engineering applications governed by PDEs, the parameters of the equation (coefficients, forcing terms, boundary and initial conditions, shape of the domain) are not known exactly but rather affected by a certain degree of uncertainty, and can be described as …

Massimo Caccia talks about Marine robotics, learning from humans, and communication: the SWAMP example

Biograd na Moru, Croatia, October 2nd, 2019 Marine robotics, learning from humans, and communication: the SWAMP example

Ryosuke Suzuki: Development and utilization of free-running model test method for direct evaluation of full-scale ship maneuvering limit in adverse weather conditions

When and where Tuesday 8 October 2019, 11:45 Sala Consiglio, INM Headquarters Rome Abstract Since free-running model test (FMT) was conventionally carried out with the propeller rotational speed at propulsion point of the ship model, the scale effect on rudder effectiveness was not negligible. Moreover, engine responses as like involuntary decrease of engine rotational speed …

Yoshiaki Tuskada: Development of an auxiliary thruster and a wind loads simulator for free-running model ship tests

When and where Tuesday 8 October 2019, 12:25 Sala Consiglio, INM Headquarters Rome Abstract The authors have developed a duct fan type auxiliary thruster that consists of a duct fan, a signal amplifier, a load cell, and a PC [1, 2]. The auxiliary thruster can provide a free-running ship model with additional longitudinal force controlled …

Isabella Fumarola: The effect of freestream turbulence on the attachment-line boundary layer

When and where Thursday 26 September 2019, 12:30, Sala Consiglio, INM Headquarters Rome Abstract One of the receptivity mechanisms in the laminar to turbulence transition is due to freestream turbulence interacting with the boundary layer. In particular, the effect of freestream turbulence on the cross-flow instability has been largely reported in literature, but there is …

SWAMP launch

On August 30, 2019, SWAMP, the new CNR-INM Shallow Water Autonomous Multipurpose Platform, has been successfully launched in Genova harbour. The prototype Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV), designed and built during Angelo Odetti Ph.D. in cooperation with the Electrical, Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture Department of the University of Genova, is the first step …
