Transport mechanisms in the ocean

We propose to apply and further develop two existing Large Eddy Scale (LES) ocean models and an existing k-e ocean model capable of calculating the three-dimensional turbulent ocean flow from the bottom to the free surface, where the latter forms part of the solution. The LES solvers will also be...

Ultra-slow spreading and hydrogen-based deep biosphere: A site survey proposal for zero-age drilling of the Knipovich Ridge

We propose to study geodynamic and hydrothermal processes along one of the most slow-spreading segments of the global ridge system. This will lay the ground for a European lead proposal to the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) aimed to test hypothe sis on the geodynamics and the extent and...

Hybrid Quantum Computers

Quantum computers can process exponentially more information than classical computers. So, whereas, classically, a 32-bit register can operate on one 32-bit number, a quantum counterpart could simultaneously process 2^32 different numbers by using quantum entanglement and superposition. But you ...

Parameterized Algorithms

The question if P=NP is today maybe the most famous mathematical problem. It has strong ties to practical computing and the central question facing the proposed research project in 'Parameterized Algorithms' is: how to cope with the NP-complete problems? Giving a better answer to this question wi...
