...growth. The combined problem of turbulence and cloud droplet growth is numerically challenging. Here an Eulerian scheme based on the Smoluchowski equation is compared with two Lagrangian superparticle (or superdroplet) schemes in the presence of condensation and collection. The growth processes are studied...

Marine and maritime operations are various in terms of purpose and complexity, and the safety management of these operations can be approached from many angles. Some of the safety research is thus specialized within one discipline or operation, although the industry could benefit from a broader analysis...

...models that simplify and approximate the real problem. The planners might therefore be more interested in a set of diverse high quality solutions to choose from, than in only the optimal (or near-optimal) solution to the model as is usually produced by a DSS. In ship routing and scheduling plans are...

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is increasingly becoming a part of all critical infrastructures, and thus there is an increasing need to include ICT in all risk assessments. This chapter explains the dependencies between ICT and other infrastructures and provides an overview of the threats...

This report maps the possibilities and challenges which combined simulation and optimization offers. This is done by establishing a common understanding of this technique through description of the important characteristics and the practical significance.   The first section of the report builds the...
