    • Collapse of the inter-electrode breakdown arc in the magnetic field direction 

      Oliver, David A. (David Anthony), 1939- (Cambridge : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)
      A two-dimensional inter-electrode breakdown arc which is uniform in the magnetic field direction is shown to be unstable. The growth time for the instability is of the order of the arc development time. It is unlikely that ...

    • An experimental and computational study of the flow in a transonic compressor rotor 

      Thompkins, William T. (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)
      A comprehensive investigation of the flow field produced by an isolated transonic compressor rotor has been completed. This rotor has an overall diameter of two feet, an inlet hub/tip ratio of 0.5, a tip Mach number of 1.2 ...

    • Accurate, efficient difference operators for the turbulent field equations 

      Oliver, David A. (David Anthony), 1939- (Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)
      Introduction: A potentially powerful method for predicting and describing turbulent flow fields is that of utilizing a finite number of moments of the instantaneous Navier-Stokes equations. This sequence of moment equations ...
