Numerical investigation of the shock interaction effect on the lateral jet controlled missile

A computational study on the supersonic flow around the lateral jet controlled missile has been performed. A three-dimensional Navier–Stokes computer code (AADL 3D) has been developed and case studies have been performed by comparing the normal force coefficient and the moment coefficient of a missile body. Different jet flow conditions including jet pressures and jet Mach numbers, and the circumferential jet positions have been incorporated into the case studies. The missile surface is divided into four regions with respect to the center of gravity, and the normal force and moment distribution at each region are compared. The results show conspicuously different normal force and moment variations according to each parameter variation. From the detailed flow field analyses, it has been verified that most of the normal force loss and the pitching moment generation are taking place at the low-pressure region behind the jet nozzle. Furthermore, it is shown that the pitching moment can be efficiently reduced by the lateral thrust obtained through higher jet Mach number rather than high jet pressure. Thus, an angle of yaw is more effective for missile control by side jet than an angle of attack.

火箭空中爆炸冲击波峰值超压预测方法

研究火箭空中爆炸冲击波参数预测方法对于乘员舱的安全评估具有重要意义。为了探究火箭空中爆炸时飞行高度对峰值超压的影响，获取冲击波参数快速预测方法，利用ANSYS/LS-DYNA有限元软件对火箭飞行至0~20 km高度爆炸进行了有限元仿真分析。结果表明，作用于乘员舱的冲击波峰值超压随飞行高度的增加而快速减小。火箭空中爆炸冲击波压强衰减系数与飞行高度之间的关系服从二次函数衰减。在此基础上，提出了考虑高度效应的火箭空中爆炸冲击波峰值超压预测公式，可为乘员舱的快速危害性评估以及防护研究提供一定参考。      

Families of halo orbits in the elliptic restricted three-body problem for a solar sail with reflectivity control devices

Solar sail halo orbits designed in the Sun-Earth circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) provide inefficient reference orbits for station-keeping since the disturbance due to the eccentricity of the Earth’s orbit has to be compensated for. This paper presents a strategy to compute families of halo orbits around the collinear artificial equilibrium points in the Sun-Earth elliptic restricted three-body problem (ER3BP) for a solar sail with reflectivity control devices (RCDs). In this non-autonomous model, periodic halo orbits only exist when their periods are equal to integer multiples of one year. Here multi-revolution halo orbits with periods equal to integer multiples of one year are constructed in the CR3BP and then used as seeds to numerically continue the halo orbits in the ER3BP. The linear stability of the orbits is analyzed which shows that the in-plane motion is unstable while the out-of-plane motion is neutrally stable and a bifurcation is identified. Finally, station-keeping is performed which shows that a reference orbit designed in the ER3BP is significantly more efficient than that designed in the CR3BP, while the addition of RCDs improve station-keeping performance and robustness to uncertainty in the sail lightness number.     

Optimization of electrode system for the aircraft time-of-flight ion-marking airspeed and angle of attack sensor

A technique of optimizing the electrode system of the differential recorder for the aircraft time-of-flight ion-marking airspeed and aircraft angle of attack sensor by the criterion of ion-marking recording error variance minimum is considered. The technique is based on analyzing the function of spatial distribution for the ion-marking and recorder electrode interaction field potential and determining a point for which this function reaches the maximum slope. The relations making it possible to synthesize the sensor electrode system by the complex criterion as a ratio of error variance to transformation channel response are obtained.     

Effects of Mach numbers on Magnus induced surface pressure

Experimental and numerical methods were used to investigate the Magnus phenomena over a spinning projectile. The pressure force acting on the surface of a spinning projectile was measured for various cases by employing a relatively novel experimental technique. A set of miniature pressure sensors along with a data acquisition board, battery and storage memory were placed inside a spinning model and the surface pressure were obtained through a remotely controlled system. Circumferential pressures of the model for both rotational and static conditions were obtained at two different free stream Mach numbers of 0.4 and 0.8 and at different angles of attack. The results showed the ability of this new test method to measure the very small Magnus force via surface pressures over the projectile. The results provide a deep insight into the flow structure and illustrate changes in the cross-flow separation locations as a result of rotation. Similar results were obtained by the numerical simulations and were compared with the experimental data.     

表面介质阻挡放电对扩散火焰燃烧特性的影响

针对表面介质阻挡放电（SDBD）在激发等离子体时具有显著的气动效应和化学活化效应，为分析表面介质阻挡放电对空气/甲烷同轴剪切扩散燃烧的助燃效果，实验使用高频交流电源，基于等离子体诱导射流逆向激励对火焰施加控制。根据获取的射流流场纹影图像、火焰图像和CH*自发辐射，研究了等离子体对不同燃烧条件下火焰燃烧特性的影响。结果表明:受等离子体气动激励作用，火焰上游细长剪切层的空气/甲烷掺混得到增强，从而扩大了剪切层燃烧宽度，同时燃烧释热速率会明显提高，这主要与等离子体活化效应有关，并且该效应显著增强了位于喷嘴出口火焰基的燃烧强度。在空气流量较低时，等离子体气动激励可有效增大火焰下游湍流度和射流角，使火焰高度降低、宽度增大，且作用效果随放电电压提高逐渐增强。      

A cost driven predictive maintenance policy for structural airframe maintenance

Airframe maintenance is traditionally performed at scheduled maintenance stops.The decision to repair a fuselage panel is based on a fixed crack size threshold,which allows to ensure the aircraft safety until the next scheduled maintenance stop.With progress in sensor technology and data processing techniques,structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are increasingly being considered in the aviation industry.SHM systems track the aircraft health state continuously,lead ing to the possibility of planning maintenance based on an actual state of aircraft rather than on a fixed schedule.This paper builds upon a model-based prognostics framework that the authors developed in their previous work,which couples the Extended Kalman filter (EKF) with a first order perturbation (FOP) method.By using the information given by this prognostics method,a novel cost driven predictive maintenance (CDPM) policy is proposed,which ensures the aircraft safety while minimizing the maintenance cost.The proposed policy is formally derived based on the trade-off between probabilities of occurrence of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.A numerical case study simulating the maintenance process of an entire fleet of aircrafts is imple mented.Under the condition of assuring the same safety level,the CDPM is compared in terms of cost with two other maintenance policies:scheduled maintenance and threshold based SHM maintenance.The comparison results show CDPM could lead to significant cost savings.
