We explore the benefits of operator splitting algorithms in the context of computational fluid dynamics. In particular, we exploit their capacity in handling free surface flows and a large variety of physical phenomena in a flexible way. A mathematical and computational framework is presented for the numerical simulation of free surface flows, where the operator splitting strategy...

Bien que les taxes environnementales soient un instrument efficient pour atteindre les objectifs des politiques climatique et énergétique, elles ne sont pas toujours socialement acceptées. Une crainte fréquente est que ces taxes pourraient avoir un effet régressif sur la distribution des revenus. Dans ce projet, nous analysons dès lors les impacts sociaux de ces taxes, ainsi que...

This paper proposes a new business model for winter sport resorts, by adopting a cluster approach. By following the guidelines for design research, we propose a new online service, which combines the notions of ridesharing and rebate. Ridesharing is often seen as a solution to reduce the number of cars in winter sport resorts, whereas the delivery of discount coupon has been used to...

This research in progress aims at identifying a set of design guide-lines to perform rapid diagnostic of common ground among participants of a startup team and their coach. Previous studies have shown that teams with high common ground are more efficient. Nonetheless, no existing tool can rapidly monitor its progression and visualize it in a simple way to allow the coach to perform...

Thispaper develops process theory on how service firms deal with persistent economic decline and the practices they adopt to overcome it. It examines how a knowledge-based service activity— commercial archeology— attempts to overcome environmental constraints of increasing complexity and economic downturn, as it unfolded over an 8-year period.This longitudinal,multimethod field study...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine through a sensemaking lens the transforming nature of scientists’ work role in public research organizations (PROs), resulting from organizational innovations in the form of collaborative culture. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a symbolic-functionalist theory of work role transition, the paper uses interview data from a case...

The aim of this article is to explore and to sum up essential elements in building a strong luxury brand. Contribution of this article to the academic discussion on branding is in critical review of the literature and collection of empirical insights from the Swiss watchmaking industry. The novelty of this project lies in the «industry-based» approach to the conceptual framework...
