Planning level decision support for the selection of robust configurations of airport passenger buildings
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
Prevalent in the current practice of airport design is the view of the airport as a "terminal", or beginning and ending point only of a traveler's journey. Such a perspective wrongly encourages the belief that airport ...
An investigation of constraint-based component-modeling for knowledge representation in computer-aided conceptual design
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1990], 1990)
The earliest computer programs used for engineering design focused on detailed geometric design. Subsequently, computer programs for algorithmically performing the preliminary design of specific well-defined classes of ...
Experimental investigation of flow distortion effects on the performance of radial discrete-passage diffusers
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
A swirling-radial-flow generator has been developed for the study of fluid-dynamic phenomena in radial passage- and vaneless-diffusers. A unique feature of the swirling-flow generator is the capability of providing a wide ...
An analytical and numerical study of the second-order effects of unsteadiness on the performance of turbomachines
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1992], 1992)
A linear approach in two dimensions is used to investigate the second-order effects of unsteadiness on the efficiency of turbomachines. The three main themes are the identification of physical nature and location of unsteady ...
Effects of non-axisymmetric tip clearance on axial compressor performance and stability
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1997], 1997)
The effects of circumferentially non-uniform tip clearance on axial compressor performance and stability have been investigated experimentally and analytically. A theoretical model for compressor behavior with non-axisymmetric ...
A Posteriori Bounds for Linear Functional Outputs of Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997-02)
One of the major difficulties faced in the numerical resolution of the equations of physics is to decide on the right balance between computational cost and solutions accuracy, and to determine how solutions errors affect ...
System Identification and Active Control of a Turbulent Boundary Layer
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997-06)
An experimental investigation is made into the active control of the near-wall region of a turbulent boundary layer using a linear control scheme. System identification in the boundary layer provides optimal transfer ...
Airline pricing and fare product differentiation
(Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1993], 1993)
Airlines offer combinations of price level and purchase restrictions, or fare products, designed to best maximize revenues on their flights. This dissertation provides the first comprehensive examination of the differentiated ...
Presentations from the 1994 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting
([Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
Concentration in U.S. air transportation : an analysis of origin-destination markets since deregulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
The thesis examined the effects on competition of deregulation in the airline industry by analyzing changes in concentration over the ten-year period 1979-1989 in two sets of origin-destination city-pair markets: the top ...
