Experimental data and analysis of the October 2003 Forbush decrease

On October 28, 2003 an Earthward-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed from SOHO/LASCO imagery in conjunction with an X17 solar flare. The CME, traveling at nearly 2000 km/s, impacted the Earth on October 29, 2003 causing ground-based particle detectors to register a counting rate drop known as a Forbush decrease. The CME was not only responsible for affecting the rate of cosmic rays, but also caused anisotropies in their direction of incidence. Data from Project GRAND, an array of proportional wire chambers which detects secondary muons, are presented during the time of this Forbush decrease.

一种适用于进气道/风扇一体化计算的体积力模型

全流道的进气道/风扇一体化计算虽然能捕捉到全面、完整的流场细节,但仍然需要消耗大量的计算资源。为了节约计算成本,利用有限的设备达到快速高精度计算的目的,采用自行发展的块体积力模型替代真实叶片进行一体化计算。该模型将叶片流域沿周向等距分成若干块,每个块的体积力源项关联于叶片前缘参数。研究结果表明:该体积力模型能够准确地模拟出流场特征与细节。在均匀来流下,各参数的相对误差在0.5%以内。同时,在大S弯进气道高畸变来流条件下,与冻结转子方法计算结果相比,总压比、总温比和等熵效率的相对误差分别为4.49%,0.26%和2.38%。     

边界层吸入跨声速复合掠型风扇气动性能研究

针对边界层吸入条件下的跨声速风扇设计问题,提出了一种掠型叶片的设计方法,分析了三种前缘掠角分布对风扇气动性能的影响,并在边界层吸入情况下对比了复合掠型风扇和原型风扇的气动性能和流动特征,探讨了叶片通过低压畸变区过程中的流场变化。研究结果表明,均匀来流时复合掠型风扇没有改变原型风扇堵塞流量,但稳定裕度提高了7.1%;边界层吸入20%进口高度时,复合掠型风扇峰值效率比均匀来流时降低了1.8%;比Rotor67风扇能够在更低的流量工况下承受同等的来流参数畸变流场。在叶片通过畸变区域过程中,退出畸变流场时更容易触发旋转失速。     

GH4037 合金毫秒激光倾斜打孔试验与仿真

针对航空发动机涡轮叶片气膜冷却孔加工问题,选取GH4037合金为研究对象,利用德国德玛吉精密激光打孔机床进行 毫秒激光倾斜打孔试验,并采用COMSOL软件进行仿真。在倾角为15°的情况下,测试了激光光束离焦量分别为负离焦、零离焦和正离焦情况下的打孔质量,在零离焦打孔时,不仅打孔深度较大,且在入口处的圆度较好,横纵向孔径差值最小。在30°和45° 2种倾角下进行打孔试验对比,结果表明：在零离焦情况下,激光脉冲数为180、重复频率为60 Hz、脉宽为1 ms、脉冲能量为1.2～1.8 J,且在无辅助气体的斜孔加工条件下,倾斜角度为30°时的孔形形貌较好,倾斜角度为45°时的孔形形貌较差,主要原因在于倾斜角度增大,靶材反射率提高,靶材表面的光斑面积增加,孔口处的燃烧效应增强,产生明显的二次烧蚀现象。采用COMSOL软件的固体传热和变形几何模块对打孔过程进行仿真,仿真结果可在一定程度上预测试验结果。

Impact of Distance Determinations on Galactic Structure. II. Old Tracers

Here we review the efforts of a number of recent results that use old tracers to understand the build up of the Galaxy. Details that lead directly to using these old tracers to measure distances are discussed. We concentrate on the following: (1) the structure and evolution of the Galactic bulge and inner Galaxy constrained from the dynamics of individual stars residing therein; (2) the spatial structure of the old Galactic bulge through photometric observations of RR Lyrae-type stars; (3) the three-dimensional structure, stellar density, mass, chemical composition, and age of the Milky Way bulge as traced by its old stellar populations; (4) an overview of RR Lyrae stars known in the ultra-faint dwarfs and their relation to the Galactic halo; and (5) different approaches for estimating absolute and relative cluster ages.     

Analysis of conventional and asymmetric aircraft configurations using CEASIOM

One of the main drivers behind the SimSAC project and the CEASIOM software is to bring stability analysis and control system design earlier into the aircraft conceptual design process. Within this paper two very different aircraft are considered, a conventional T-tail based on the existing EA500 Very Light Jet and the second, a novel Z-wing configuration known as the GAV or general aviation vehicle. The first aircraft serves as a baseline comparison for the second, and the cruise case is considered as a benchmark for identifying potential drag reductions and aircraft stability characteristics. CEASIOM, the Computerised Environment for Aircraft Synthesis and Integrated Optimisation Methods, is used to generate aerodynamic data sets for both aircraft, create trim conditions and the associated linear models for classical stability analysis. The open-loop Z-wing configuration is shown to display both highly unstable and coupled modes before a multivariable Stability Augmentation System (SAS) is applied both to decouple and stabilise the aircraft. Within this paper, these two aircraft provide a test case with which to demonstrate the capabilities of the CEASIOM environment and the tools which have been developed during the SimSAC project. This new software suite is shown to allow conceptual development of unconventional novel configurations from mass properties through adaptive-fidelity aerodynamics to linear analysis and control system design.
