Lagrangian simulation of transverse jets with a distribution-based diffusion scheme
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
Transverse jets form a dominant group of flow fields arising in many applications of modern energy utilization, including propulsion and effluent dispersion. Furthermore, they form canonical examples where the flow field ...
Strain-tuning of periodic optical devices : tunable gratings and photonic crystals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The advancement of micro- and nano-scale optical devices has heralded micromirrors, semiconductor micro- and nano-lasers, and photonic crystals, among many. Broadly defined with the field of microphotonics and microelect ...
Investigation of in-vivo total knee arthroplasty biomechanics using a dual fluoroscopic imaging system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
While contempary total knee arthroplasty has been successful in improving the quality of life for those suffering from severe osteoarthritis, the function of these patients has not reached normal levels for their age group. ...
