(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis presents high-order, discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and an output-based error estimation and mesh adaptation algorithm for these discretizations. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Results are presented from the development of a high-order discontinuous Galerkin finite element solver using p-multigrid with line Jacobi smoothing. The line smoothing algorithm is presented for unstructured meshes, and ...

(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001-04)We present a high order accurate streamline-upwind/Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) algorithm for the solution of the compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. The flow equations are written in terms of entropy variables which ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Balancing task allocation between humans and computers is crucial to the development of effective decision support systems. This thesis investigates the appropriate balance between humans and automation for geospatial path ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Deciding if and what objects should be engaged in a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) scenario involves a number of complex issues. The system is large and the timelines may be on the order of a few minutes, which ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Human-automation interactions are a critical area of research in systems with modem automation. The decision-making portion of tasks presents a special challenge for human-automation interactions because of the many factors ...
