    • The effects of manufacturing variability on turbine vane performance 

      Duffner, John D. (Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008-06)
      Gas turbine vanes have airfoil shapes optimized to deliver specific flow conditions to turbine rotors. The limitations of the manufacturing process with regards to accuracy and precision mean that no vane will exactly match ...

    • Anisotropic Grid Adaptation for Multiple Aerodynamic Outputs 

      Venditti, David A.; Darmofal, David L. (Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007-08)
      Anisotropic grid–adaptive strategies are presented for viscous flow simulations in which the accurate prediction of multiple aerodynamic outputs (such as the lift, drag, and moment coefficients) is required from a single ...

    • High Order Finite Element Discretization of the Compressible Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations 

      Wong, J. S.; Darmofal, D. L.; Peraire, J. (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 ...
