Their findings, published in in the journal Physical Review Fluids, have potential applications for competitive sailing as well as the engineering of automated boats and vehicles. ⛵️ 3/3. Watch the video here:

Mavroyiakoumou and co-author Silas Alben used a combination of mathematical modeling and numerical simulations to better understand how sails interact with the background wind during tacking. ⛵️2/3 . Read more:

Christiana Mavroyiakoumou, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, sailed a toy boat through Central Park recently, giving valuable insight into her newly published research on 'tacking'—a difficult but common sailing maneuver that harnesses the wind's power. ⛵️ 1/3

"It is not possible to summarize the intellectual, cultural, or emotional impact of a man like Peter Lax," wrote our Institute Director Russel Caflisch, "so perhaps the simplest thing to say is thank you.".

Peter Lax, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, passed away last week at the age of 99. He was a legendary mathematician and a committed educator, who advised 55 doctoral students during his long career at Courant. 📷: A. I. Flakvik / The Abel Prize
