On a continuous mixed strategies model for evolutionary game theory

We consider an integro-differential model for evolutionary game theory which describes the evolution of a population adopting mixed strategies. Using a reformulation based on the first moments of the solution, we prove some analytical properties of the model and global estimates. The asymptotic behavior and the stability of solutions in the case of two strategies is analyzed in details. Numerical schemes for two and three strategies which are able to capture the correct equilibrium states are also proposed together with several numerical examples.

Analysis of the Flow Past a Fully Appended Hull with Propellers by Computational and Experimental Fluid Dynamics

The flow in the stern region of a fully appended hull is analyzed by both computational and experimental fluid dynamics. The study is focused on the velocity field induced by the rotating propellers. Measurements have been performed by laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) on the vertical midplane of the rudder and in two transversal planes behind the propeller and behind the rudder. In the numerical approach, the real geometry of the propeller has been considered.

Analysis of the interference effects for high-speed catamarans by model tests and numerical simulations

This paper presents the results of a large experimental and numerical campaign aimed to the analysis of the interference effect for a fast catamaran. Several separation distances are considered; data for resistance, sinkage and trim are collected by towing tank experiments for Froude number ranging from 0.2 to 0.8. Monohull tests are also carried out, the analysis of the interference and its dependency on the separation length being the main objective of the paper.
