The 30th America's Cup will be held in New Zealand, commencing in October 1999. For the first time a Swiss team, the FAST2000 Challenge of the Club Nautique Morgien, will compete. Three laboratories of the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) are collaborating with FAST2000 in the design of the boat that will race in the Cup challenges. Present-day design of IACC racing yachts relies on the use of numerical flow simulations to obtain a competitive edge. The computation of the complex hydrodynamic and aerodynamic flows around sailing yachts provides valuable information to supplement the more conventional empirical and experimental design techniques. Such flow simulations, however, are extremely challenging and thus often require state­of-the-art numerical techniques and computer technology. A number of the issues critical to IACC yacht design are discussed, and various approaches described to address them through the use of advanced numerical flow simulation.

The conformal method for constructing initial data for Einstein's equations is presented in both the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian picture (extrinsic curvature decomposition and conformal thin sandwich formalism, respectively), and advantages due to the recent introduction of a weight-function in the extrinsic curvature decomposition are discussed. I then describe recent progress in numerical techniques to solve the resulting elliptic equations, and explore innovative approaches toward the construction of astrophysically realistic initial data for binary black hole simulations.

Recent progress in the electron-mirror microscopy (EMM), e.g., an improvement of its resolving power together with an increase of the magnification makes it useful for investigating the ferroelectric domain physics. English has recently observed the domain texture in the surface layer of BaTiO3. The present authors ) have developed a theory by which one can evaluate small one-dimensional electric fields and/or topographic step heights in the crystal surfaces from their EMM pictures. This theory was applied to a quantitative study of the surface pattern of BaTiO3).

Recent progress in the application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and tunneling spectroscopy (STS) to oxide surfaces has allowed issues of image formation mechanism and spatial resolution limitations to be addressed. As the STM analyses of oxide surfaces continues, it is becoming clear that the geometric and electronic structures of these surfaces are intrinsically complex. Since STM requires conductivity, the oxides in question are transition metal oxides that accommodate aliovalent dopants or nonstoichiometry to produce mobile carriers. To date, considerable effort has been directed toward probing the structures and reactivities of ZnO polar and nonpolar surfaces, TiO2 (110) and (001) surfaces and the SrTiO3 (001) surface, with a view towards integrating these results with the vast amount of previous surface analysis (LEED and photoemission) to build a more complete understanding of these surfaces. However, the spatial localization of the STM/STS provides a level of detail that leads to conclusions somewhat different from those made earlier.
