Numerical and analytical modelling of downhole seismic sources--the near and far field
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Numerical and analytical studies of single and multiphase starting jets and plumes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Multiphase starting jets and plumes are widely observed in nature and engineering systems. An environmental engineering example is open-water disposal of sediments. The present study numerically simulates such starting ... -
Numerical and experimental analysis of initial water impact of an air-dropped REMUS AUV
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The initial water impact of a free-falling object is primarily related to the fluid forces on the wetted surface of the object. The shape-dependent added-mass coefficients express the fluid forces integrated over the body, ... -
Numerical and experimental investigation of membrane distillation flux and energy efficiency
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)While the field of desalination has matured for seawater desalination and similar applications, other markets such as the treatment of high salinity feed streams require novel technological innovations. This thesis considers ... -
Numerical and experimental investigation of the effect of an inverted bow on the hydrodynamic performance of Navy combatant hull forms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In this paper we investigate the resistance and seakeeping effects of an inverted bow by comparing the motions of an existing combatant hull, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate (FFG-7), with a modified version of the ... -
Numerical and experimental methods for determining the strength and motion of trailing vortices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995) -
Numerical and Experimental Study of Rock Fracture Creep Under Dry Conditions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021-06)In many rock engineering projects such as hydrocarbon extraction or geothermal energy utilization, the hydro-mechanical behavior of rock fractures has a strong effect on the safety and profitability of the project. In field ... -
A numerical and experimental study of the scalar transport at a turbulent liquid free surface
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1989) -
A numerical and observational study of the genesis of concentric eyewall hurricanes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)This work attempts to understand the dynamics of the genesis of concentric eyewall hurricanes. More specifically, we focus on the effects of external eddy forcing associated with upper-level wave asymmetries in the environment ... -
Numerical applications of the generalized method of steepest descents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1992) -
A numerical approach : broadband technologies for efficient Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) independent receiver coils in parallel or time-axis compression, can be cast as complementary to broadband MRI encoding. This affords broadband non-Fourier MRI with time efficiencies over current fast MRI methods. ... -
Numerical approaches for sequential Bayesian optimal experimental design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Experimental data play a crucial role in developing and refining models of physical systems. Some experiments can be more valuable than others, however. Well-chosen experiments can save substantial resources, and hence ... -
Numerical approaches to optimize dispatch on microgrids with energy storage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Microgrids and distributed generation are predicted to become extremely dominant in developing nations, and will be largely beneficial to both electricity suppliers and consumers. With the penetration of renewable energy ... -
Numerical balancing in a humidification dehumidification desalination system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis details research on the thermal and concentration balancing of a humidification dehumidification desalination system. The system operates similarly to the natural rain cycle. Seawater is heated, sprayed into ... -
