    Lloc de realització: EETAC
     
    Paraules clau:
    sailboat, dynamical system, model, simulation, optimisation
     
    Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
    A sailboat is a vehicle that simultaneously "flies" in air and water. The dynamics can be modelled by means of the Newton laws, but closure models for the aerodynamic forces on the sail and the hydrodynamic forces on the keel, hull and rudder must be employed. The aim of this project is to model in the simplest way possible the response of a sailboat to wind, currents and sailor commands and to simulate it numerically. Also to understand the effects of some problem parameters on stability and performance and to optimise boat trajectories.

    The plan for the project is:
    1) Model a 2d sailboat.
    2) Code a time-stepper to evolve the dynamics.
    3) Analyse the effects of environmental (wind and current) and boat (sizes, distances, aero/hydrodynamic coefficients...) parameters on stability and manoeuverability.
    4) Code a solver to find equilibria.
    5) Analyse the performances.
    6) Optimise trajectories.
    7) Consider ways of extending the project to 3d modelling.
