Asymptotic analysis of numerical wave propagation in finite difference equations

Giles, M. (Michael); Thompkins, William T. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1983], 1983)

An asymptotic technique is developed for analysing the propagation and dissipation of wave-like solutions to finite difference equations. It is shown that for each fixed complex frequency there are usually several wave ...
A numerical analysis of 3-D inviscid stator/rotor interactions using non-reflecting boundary conditions

Saxer, André P. (André Pierre) (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1992], 1992)

This dissertation presents a method for the computation of three-dimensional inviscid, transonic steady and unsteady flows, primarily in axial flow turbines. The work is divided into two major contributions. The first is ...
Parametric dependencies of aeroengine flutter for flutter clearance applications

Khalak, Asif, 1972- (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [2000], 2000)

This thesis describes the effects of operational parameters upon aeroengine flutter stability. The study is composed of three parts: theoretical development of relevant parameters, exploration of a computational model, and ...
