Presentations from the 1996 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting.
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1996], 1996)
Airline reservations forecasting : probabilistic and statistical models of the booking process
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1990], 1990)
In this thesis, we develop the necessary statistical framework to produce accurate forecasts of total bookings in a particular fare class on a specific flight number departing on a given date at various points before ...
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 ...
A recommended course of action for upgrading Garduda Operations Control Systems
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1995], 1995)
Introduction: The purpose of this document is to construct a recommended course of action in the next year for Garuda Operations Control in its efforts to upgrade its information systems technology. The process of installing ...
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 ...
