the University of Liverpool, with an emphasis on recent improvements made through the …

A model predictive control (MPC) framework with a fixed maneuver horizon and shrinking
prediction and control horizons is presented that, at each time step, minimizes the most …

Safe flight with maneuvers of rotorcraft systems in the near vicinity of Naval ships poses a
number of challenges due to the rapidly changing flow conditions and unsteady wake …

This study investigates the model predictive control design for helicopter shipboard
operations in the presence of ship airwakes and rough seas. A control oriented helicopter …

The unsteady flows produced over the stern of a Simple Frigate Shape 2 ship model are
studied in a low-speed wind tunnel. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) …
