Collapse of the inter-electrode breakdown arc in the magnetic field direction
(Cambridge : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)
A two-dimensional inter-electrode breakdown arc which is uniform in the magnetic field direction is shown to be unstable. The growth time for the instability is of the order of the arc development time. It is unlikely that ...
The prediction of inter-electrode breakdown in magnetohydrodynamic generators
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)
Introduction: In this paper, a method of calculation of inter-electrode electrical breakdown phenomena in magnetohydrodynamic generators is presented. Interelectrode breakdown is observed to occur in experimental MHD ...
The time dependent magnetohydrodynamic generator
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)
Introduction: Low magnetic Reynolds number magnetohydrodynamic generators as would be utilized in power plants are conceived of as steady state D.C. devices. Unsteady phenomena may exist in such generators however. ...
Accurate, efficient difference operators for the turbulent field equations
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)
Introduction: A potentially powerful method for predicting and describing turbulent flow fields is that of utilizing a finite number of moments of the instantaneous Navier-Stokes equations. This sequence of moment equations ...
The display of multi-dimensional flows in turbomachinery
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1972], 1972)
Introduction: As part of a general development of computational techniques for multidimensional flows through turbomachine passages and over turbomachine blading at the M.I.T. Gas Turbine Laboratory, display techniques and ...
