Shock Wave Interaction with the Magnetopause

The magnetopause is in continuous motion and shock waves and impulsive acceleration events can occur. As an example, we show that the interaction of an interplanetary shock with the bow shock can generate a shock wave that after passing through the magnetosheath can interact with the magnetopause. In fluid dynamics, when a shock wave encounters a fluid discontinuity, the interface may become unstable and form bubbles and spikes. We consider this Richtmyer-Meshkov instability in magnetohydrodynamics. At the dayside magnetopause, the instability tends to be stabilized by the magnetic field. However, the shock wave interaction can initiate magnetic field reconnection for the southward IMF, which may be important in strong interplanetary shock events.

同轴离心式喷嘴热声不稳定性递归分析

为获得同轴离心式喷嘴燃烧动力学特性，开展了喷注单元稳定性试验研究。试验中燃料流量不变，随氧化剂流量增加，热声系统依次经历了燃烧噪声状态、阵发状态和准周期振荡状态。采用递归方法对实验结果进行分析。首先，利用交互信息法和虚假最邻近法分别求解最优延迟时间和嵌入维数，获得了典型工况下的相空间轨迹图。其次，递归图分析表明系统出现了第II类阵发现象，意味着系统发生了亚临界Hopf分叉，与实验结果一致。最后，递归量化分析表明，确定率可以将阵发状态和准周期振荡状态与燃烧噪声状态区分出来，并可以对热声振荡进行预报。     

Daytime VHF amplitude scintillations recorded at an Indian low-latitude station,Waltair (17.7°N, 83.3°E) during 1997–2003

In this research, it is presented the daytime amplitude scintillations recorded at VHF frequency (244 MHz) at an Indian low-latitude station, Waltair (17.7°N, 83.3°E) during seven continuous years (1997–2003). Contrary to the nighttime scintillation seasonal trends, the occurrence of daytime scintillations maximizes during summer followed by winter and the equinox seasons. The fade depths, scintillation indices and the patch durations of daytime scintillations are meager when compared with their nighttime counterparts. A co-located digital high frequency (HF) ionosonde radar confirms the presence of sporadic (Es) layers when daytime scintillations are observed. The presence of daytime scintillations is evident when the critical frequency of the Es-layer (foEs) is ≥4 MHz and Es-layers are characterized by a highly diffuse range spread Es echoes as can be seen on ionograms. It is surmised that the gradient drift instability (GDI) seems to be the possible mechanism for the generation of these daytime scintillations. It is quite likely that the spread Es-F-layer coupling is done through polarization electric fields (Ep) that develop inside the destabilized patches of sporadic E layers, which are mapped up to the F region along the field lines as to initiate the daytime scintillations through the GDI mechanism. Further, the presence of additional stratification of ionosphere F-layer, popularly known as the F3-layer, is observed on ionograms once the Es-layers and daytime scintillations are ceased.     

Two-stream instability generation in the lunar ionosphere

The Two-stream Instability (TSI) generation is studied analytically in the lunar ionosphere. The TSI is a tiny perturbation in the electron plasma density, due to which an electric field grows with time and this growth is facilitated by the electron plasma in the background. In lunar ionosphere, the TSI comes into existence when the solar wind interacts unhindered with the tenuous lunar electron plasma in the surface bound exosphere. In this study, the conditions which allow the TSI to form and the subsequent instability growth with time i.e. the growth factor, is estimated. Initially, the threshold condition for the TSI to take place is determined. Thereafter, the solar wind and lunar plasma parameter contribution to trigger TSI is investigated along with the effect of these parameters in the evolution of TSI. The plasma TSI evolution with the passage of time is also depicted in phase space diagram with Particle-In-Cell simulations.

跨声速压气机实验系统Helmholtz频率的影响因素及估算方法研究

针对压气机实验系统 Helmholtz共振频率的研究对于建设压气机试验系统及研究压气机流动不稳定现象均有重要意义。以北京航空航天大学跨声速压气机试验系统为背景,通过拆除该压气机试验系统的稳压箱、格栅等部件以及更改该试验系统的几何尺寸,分析该型压气机试验系统 Helmholtz 共振频率的影响因素;同时引入了Duct-Compressor-Plenum模型理论,对该压气机试验系统进行相应的模化,并对其系统 Helmholtz 共振频率进行相应估算。结果表明:在该类型的跨声速压气机试验系统中,压气机前端的稳压箱及稳压箱之前部分主要作用是为整个试验系统提供均匀的进气环境,而对系统 Helmholtz 共振频率不产生任何影响。因此,在跨声速压气机试验系统Duct-Compressor-Plenum模型模化过程中,不应将稳压箱及其之前部件进行模化。

速度脉动下分层旋流火焰动态传播结构提取

为了深刻理解分层旋流火焰的动态结构,开展了分层旋流火焰动态的模态分析和参数化研究。实验在BASIS （北京航空航天大学发展的具有台阶隔离段的独立分层旋流燃烧器）上开展,以甲烷为燃料预混燃烧,使用高速摄像捕捉了速度脉动下的CH*化学发光信号动态图像。利用传统的本征正交分解（POD）和重定向POD分析了火焰动态特性,并利用重定向POD提取了火焰动态中沿着轴向和径向的周期性传播结构,传播结构的频率与速度脉动频率保持一致,且轴向模态的传播结构最为明显。同时,研究了总当量比对重定向POD模态的影响,分析表明：总当量比增大时,重定向POD模态的拓扑结构会发生变化;重定向POD模态中出现了错位现象,这种现象与相平均图像中的火焰传播行为保持一致。重定向POD方法能够有效提取旋流火焰动态中的传播结构,为旋流火焰燃烧不稳定性的机理研究提供了一种分析工具。     

不同当量比下氢气体积分数对甲烷-氢混合气预混火焰燃烧不稳定性的影响

在可调振幅的正弦波声场作用下,以甲烷-氢混合气预混钝体火焰为实验对象,通过火焰传递函数表征整个燃烧系统的燃烧不稳定性特征,借助CH基自发荧光图像描述火焰锋面运动及演化过程,研究了在声激励下不同当量比（0.8、1.0、1.2）下氢气体积分数的变化（0、10%、20%）对火焰燃烧不稳定的影响。结果表明: 对于当量比为0.8和1.0的预混火焰,氢气的加入使得火焰传递函数幅值增大,热释放波动变大,整体火焰的不稳定性增强;对于当量比为1.2的富燃预混火焰,随着氢气体积分数的增加,火焰传递函数幅值先减小后增加,火焰稳定性较强。      

同轴离心式喷嘴噪声引发燃烧不稳定分析和预测

以氧化剂和燃料的混合比作为系统控制参数,研究同轴离心式喷嘴燃烧动力学过程。混合比增加和减少过程中,燃烧噪声和振荡燃烧状态间转变的混合比不同,说明系统出现了亚临界Hopf分叉现象,且在双稳定区内出现了燃烧噪声引发的振荡燃烧。利用临界慢化理论,分析3种表征参数:延迟为1自相关系数、方差和条件异方差（CH）对噪声引发不稳定的预警效果。结果表明:延迟为1自相关系数在噪声引发不稳定前出现明显的上升趋势且非随机现象,具有较可靠的指示作用。方差对噪声引发不稳定性的预示性较差。条件异方差在不稳定发生前振荡上升,可以作为辅助判断条件。基于Kendall秩相关系数趋势评估方法,提出一种在线预测噪声引发不稳定的判断准则,具有较好的适应性和可靠性。
