极端太阳风条件下的磁层顶位形

基于极端太阳风条件下的三维MHD数值模拟数据, 构建了一种极端太阳风条件下的三维非对称磁层顶位形模型. 所提出的模型考虑了行星际南向磁场(IMF) B_z日下点距离侵蚀的饱和效应, 太阳风动压B_d对磁层顶张角影响的饱和效应, 赤道面、昼夜子午面磁层顶的不对称性以及极尖区的内凹结构和内凹中心的移动, 并利用Levenberg-Marquart多参量非线性拟合方法拟合了模型参数. 数值模拟研究表明, 在极端太阳风条件下, 随B_d增大, 磁层顶日下点距离减小, 磁层顶磁尾张角几乎不变; 随南向(IMF)B_z增大, 磁层顶日下点距离略有减小, 磁层顶磁尾张角减小, 极尖区内凹中心向低纬移动. 通过对2010年8月1日太阳风暴事件验证发现, 本文所建立的模型能够描述极端太阳风条件下的三维磁层顶位形.      

太阳活动与地磁扰动的变化

以每年中地磁指数C9≥L事件的次数表示地磁扰动程度.研究下列六种情况:L=3、4和5,其中每一种又再分成重现的和一般的两类.用曲线分段拟合法求出地磁扰动年次数C_k与黑子相对数R_k之间的经验的平均关系f(R);计算出△_k=C_k-f_k,其中f_k≡f(R_k).计算结果表明:1.用黑子相对数极小年之前四年作太阳活动周的起算点.对这种“活动周”求△_k=C_k-f_k的平均,得到各个△.各“活动周”的△的符号依次正负交替.2.由90年地磁扰动观测资料得来的符号交替规律出现在C9≥3、4和5时的各种情况.这很可能是由于太阳极区磁场符号依次交替变化造成的.进一步地划分时段后,各个“活动周”中△_k对于△的弥散程度σ不同.σ序列显现出约70年的长周期.      

极光场线上上行氧离子(O+)束驱动的静电离子迥旋波和离子声波不稳定性

本文研究了由背景热电子、背景冷质子(H+)和强各向异性氧离子(O+)束组成的模型等离子体中静电O+迴旋波和离子声波不稳定性.结果表明,低频(|ω|<σ_p,σ_p表示质子迴旋频率)静电O+迴旋波和离子声波可以由极光场线上上行O+束来激发.上行O+束可能是极光场线上低频静电不稳定性一个重要的自由能源.      

关于行星际磁场螺旋扇形过渡区稳定性的分析

本文利用四层模式,讨论了ME型行星际磁场螺旋扇形过渡区的稳定性。结果表明:(1)ME型过渡区中可以激发三种大尺度波动,且三种波动都存在低频截止;(2)随着波数k增大,不稳定性的增长率都有上升的趋势,但其中A型波动的增长率存在一个极大值和一个极小值;(3)当k与扇形区中太阳风速度V_q呈平行或反平行时,波动最易被激发;随着k与V_q之间夹角变大,截止波长逐渐向短波段移动;当k与V_q相垂直时,波动则不能被激发;(4)当k与V_q夹角呈75°时,可以激发波长为5×104km、相速为340 km/s的波动,这与Voyager 1飞船在磁层顶处的观测结果相一致。由此推断,螺旋扇形过渡区中激发的波动可能是导致磁层顶K-H不稳定性的一种扰动源。

流动对太阳黑子精细结构的影响

考虑磁扩散率为温度的函数以及绝热条件,线性扰动磁流力学方程组的色散方程是频率的三次方程。由于沿磁场流动的速度u₀小于声速u_s,即ε=u₀2/u_s2是一个小量,在零级近似下解色散方程,得到了磁扩散不稳定性。本文进一步讨论在一级近似下小流动对磁扩散不稳定性的影响。结果表明,小流动不破坏磁扩散不稳定性的存在,并且,它对波数空间中的不稳定区也影响不大。

磁层顶对磁层磁场的影响

太阳风与地磁场相互作用形成的磁层顶对磁层内磁场有重要影响。本文假定地磁场为偶极子,太阳风为理想导体,在太阳风与磁层的边界上满足磁场法向分量为零的边界条件。采用最小二乘法求得磁层顶电流在磁层内产生的磁场的球谐系数。从计算结果可以看出磁层顶对磁层磁场的影响。结果表明,向阳面的磁场、中性点、极光区的位置与形状与实际观测比较接近;磁尾磁场与实际观测相差较远,原因是没有加上磁尾片电流。文中还给出了太阳风与地磁轴交不同角度时的磁层磁场的计算结果。      

电离层电场对磁层活动响应时延的模式研究

本文用极盖边界上电离层驱动电位φ₀随时间变化的不同模式计算了场向电流J_∥2及电离层对流电场E的演化过程。计算表明,当φ₀(t)先升后降有极大值时,J_∥2(t)和E(t)也表现出类似的趋势。但它们的极值滞后于φ_0max出现的时刻,即在一段时间内,φ₀虽已开始下降,J_∥2及高纬E却继续增大。一般说,E先于J_∥2达到极值,但相差甚小。φ₀变化形式不同时,滞后时间亦不同。当φ₀陡升缓降时,E、J_∥2的极值相对于φ_0max的时延可超过一小时。这与持续时间较长的磁暴期间所观测到的电离层场强响应时延量级是一致的。时延大小还受电离层电导率的制约。低纬电离层场强的响应与高纬不同,其升降趋势与φ₀同步。

A challenge to the highest balloon altitude

Development of a balloon to fly at higher altitudes is one of the most attractive challenges for scientific balloon technologies. After reaching the highest balloon altitude of 53.0 km using the 3.4 μm film in 2002, a thinner balloon film with a thickness of 2.8 μm was developed. A 5000 m³ balloon made with this film was launched successfully in 2004. However, three 60,000 m³ balloons with the same film launched in 2005, 2006, and 2007, failed during ascent. The mechanical properties of the 2.8 μm film were investigated intensively to look for degradation of the ultimate strength and its elongation as compared to the other thicker balloon films. The requirement of the balloon film was also studied using an empirical and a physical model assuming an axis-symmetrical balloon shape and the static pressure. It was found that the film was strong enough. A stress due to the dynamic pressure by the wind shear is considered as the possible reason for the unsuccessful flights. A 80,000 m³ balloon with cap films covering 9 m from the balloon top will be launch in 2011 to test the appropriateness of this reinforcement.

Mechanical properties of ANTRIX balloon film and fabrication of single cap large volume balloons

The zero pressure plastic balloons used for high altitude studies are generally made from polyethylene material. Tensile properties of the thin film polymer are the key parameters for material selection due to extremely low temperature of −90 °C encountered by the balloons in the tropopause region during the ascent at equatorial latitudes. The physical and structural properties of the material determine the uniformity of the stress distribution over the entire shell. Load stresses from the suspended load propagate via load tapes heat sealed along with the gore seals as per the balloon design. A balance between this heat seal strength and the film strength is a desirable property of the basic resin in terms of the bubble strength, gauge uniformity, and long-term storage properties. In addition, the design of the top shell of the balloon and its stress distribution play an important role since only a fraction of the balloon is deployed during the filling operation and the ascent. In this paper we describe the mechanical properties of the ‘ANTRIX’ film developed by us and the optimized design of single cap balloons, which have been successfully used in our experiments over the past 5 years.

Development of a super-pressure balloon with a diamond-shaped net

The essential reason of the lobed-pumpkin shaped super-pressure balloon to withstand against the high pressure is that the local curvature of the balloon film is kept small. Recently, it has been found that the small local curvature can also be obtained if the balloon is covered by a diamond-shaped net with a vertically elongated shape. The development of the super-pressure balloon using this method was started from a 3-m balloon with a polyethylene film covered by a net using Kevlar ropes. The ground inflation test showed the expected high burst pressure. Then, a 6-m and a 12-m balloon using a polyethylene film and a net using the Vectran were developed and stable deployment was checked through the ground inflation tests. The flight test of a 3000 m³ balloon was performed in 2013 and shown to resist a pressure of at least 400 Pa. In the future, after testing a new design to relax a possible stress concentration around the polar area, test flights of scaled balloons will be performed gradually enlarging their size. The goal is to launch a 300,000 m³ super-pressure balloon.     

Simulating clefts in pumpkin balloons

The geometry of a large axisymmetric balloon with positive differential pressure, such as a sphere, leads to very high film stresses. These stresses can be significantly reduced by using a tendon re-enforced lobed pumpkin-like shape. A number of schemes have been proposed to achieve a cyclically symmetric pumpkin shape, including the constant bulge angle (CBA) design, the constant bulge radius (CBR) design, CBA/CBR hybrids, and NASA’s recent constant stress (CS) design. Utilizing a hybrid CBA/CBR pumpkin design, Flight 555-NT in June 2006 formed an S-cleft and was unable to fully deploy. In order to better understand the S-cleft phenomenon, a series of inflation tests involving four 27-m diameter 200-gore pumpkin balloons were conducted in 2007. One of the test vehicles was a 1/3-scale mockup of the Flight 555-NT balloon. Using an inflation procedure intended to mimic ascent, the 1/3-scale mockup developed an S-cleft feature strikingly similar to the one observed in Flight 555-NT. Our analysis of the 1/3-scale mockup found it to be unstable. We compute asymmetric equilibrium configurations of this balloon, including shapes with an S-cleft feature.     

关于冲击波在环形磁场中的传播

本文求解了点源爆炸波在环形磁场中传播的非自型问题。以耀斑引起的击波传播为例讨论了解的应用。从中可以看到,磁场扰动呈U形,主要发生在0.5Re—1.0Re的击波区域;行星际磁场的存在使击波到达1AU的时间延长了几个小时;击波必须具有大于磁截止能量E_M=λ₁S2/4π J₀R时(符号意义见内容)才有可能传播到1AU以远的地方,日冕磁场结构对耀斑击波进入行星际空间的传播有重要作用。
