A computational model for rotating stall and inlet distortions in multistage compressors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1999], 1999)
This thesis presents the conceptualization and development of a computational model for describing three-dimensional non-linear disturbances associated with instability and inlet distortion in multistage compressors. ...
Airline alliances : the airline perspective
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1999], 1999)
Airline alliances are one of the critical issues faced by the airline industry in the 1990s. In this thesis, an overview of the most significant impacts that the formation of alliances have brought to the industry-especially ...
An Arnoldi Approach for Generation of Reduced Order Models for Turbomachinery
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
A linear reduced-order aerodynamic model is developed for aeroelastic analysis of turbo-machines. The basis vectors are constructed using a block Arnoldi method. Although the model is cast in the time domain in state-space ...
Analysis, Fabrication and Testing of a MEMS-based Micropropulsion System
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999-06)
Various trends in the spacecraft industry are driving the development of low-thrust propulsion systems. These may be needed for fine attitude control, or to reduce the mass of the propulsion system through the use of small ...
