(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Flow separation (the detachment of fluid from a no-slip boundary) is a major cause of performance loss in engineering devices, including diffusers, airfoils and jet engines. The systematic study of flow separation dates ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In problems of dispersive wave propagation governed by two distinct restoring-force mechanisms, the phase speed of linear sinusoidal wavetrains may feature a minimum, cmin, at non-zero wavenumber, kmin. Examples include ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)It is known that when two fluids flow through a horizontal channel, depending on the relative velocity between the two fluids, two different instability mechanisms can create initial wave disturbances on the interface: the ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The United States Navy has taken a new interest in tumblehome hulls. While the stealth characteristics of these hull forms make them attractive to the Navy, their sea keeping characteristics have proven to be problematic. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis focuses on the application of nonlinear springs for fluid flow control valves where geometric constraints, or fabrication technologies, limit the use of available solutions. Types of existing nonlinear springs ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Viscoelastic materials, such as biomaterials and non-Newtonian fluids, typically experience mechanical loading which evokes a nonlinear rheological response. Rheologically complex materials can provide novel functionality ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Ocean energy is one of the most important sources of alternative energy and offshore floating wind turbines are considered viable and economical means of harnessing ocean energy. The accurate prediction of nonlinear ...

-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)In this thesis, an open-loop numerical dynamic optimization method for a class of dynamic systems is developed. The structure of the governing equations of the systems under consideration change depending on the values of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Telepresence robots have emerged as a novel solution to meeting the social communication needs of nomadic workers. This thesis provides an overview of non-verbal communication cues for telepresence robot applications, and ...
