A simple control law for reducing the effective characteristic acceleration of a solar sail

The direction and magnitude of a solar sail acceleration are strongly related. For this reason, once the characteristic acceleration has been fixed, it is not possible to modulate the acceleration in a particular direction. In this work, a semi-analytical switching control law is derived, enabling a solar sail to emulate a smaller effective characteristic acceleration (without changes in geometry or optical properties); by periodically changing the pitch (cone) angle of the sail, in average over time, the acceleration produced by the sail matches exactly (in both direction and magnitude) that of a “smaller” sail. The range in which this is possible is determined, and the limitations on this range due to the size difference is computed. The method is validated on optimal Earth-Mars trajectories.

基于等 Weber 数的结冰外形修正

由于设备条件的限制,在进行结冰风洞试验时,试验 Weber 数与目标 Weber 数往往存在差异,为了获得与目标 Weber 数对应的冰形,需要对试验结果进行修正。本文分析了进行 Weber 数修正的原因,提出了根据几何特征量进行结冰外形修正的方法,并以某超临界翼型为对象,对不同 Weber 条件下的结冰外形进行了仿真,研究了Weber 数变化对结冰的影响规律,在此基础上开展了基于等 Weber 数的结冰外形修正。研究发现：(1)Weber 数主要影响冰角特征,对水滴收集特性、结冰极限及驻点冰厚度影响较小;(2)存在一个敏感 Weber 数,低于敏感值时, Weber 数变化对结冰影响不大,当 Weber 数高于敏感值时,Weber 数变化对结冰有明显影响;(3)采用本文提出的冰形修正方法,能保证冰形的宏观轮廓与目标冰形一致,修正后的冰形能适量消除由于 Weber 数误差导致的冰形差异,提高试验的精度。     

“蚌式”进气道附面层扫除特性风洞试验

以某低、高速风洞为平台,设计搭建了“蚌式”进气道附面层扫除特性测量试验系统,进行了不同流量系数和来流马赫数下进气道鼓包表面附面层扫除特性的风洞试验,通过对试验数据的整理、计算和对比分析同型号的飞行试验结果,研究了“蚌式”进气道鼓包表面附面层扫除特性。研究结果表明:在相同的来流马赫数下,随着流量系数的增大,鼓包表面附面层的扫除能力逐渐减弱;在亚声速工况的绝大多数流量范围内,鼓包表面压力系数沿鼓包中心线对称分布、压力梯度变化明显,且在不同截面沿主流方向具有增大的特征,鼓包构型对附面层扫除效果较强;超声速工况下具有明显附面层扫除能力的流量范围明显小于亚声速工况,进气道唇口形成的弓形激波是影响鼓包表面不同位置压力梯度变化的主要因素,进而决定着附面层扫除特性。在接近来流马赫数18及以上飞行工况下,附面层的扫除能力减弱,附面层分离加强,进而会造成较大的进气压力损失和畸变。     

退化量有缺失的无失效小样本轴承可靠性评估

针对有试验性能退化量参数记录、且(或)有部分数据缺失情况的小样本无失效轴承试验问题,通过由Taylor和Thompson提出的数据模拟法实现补全样本退化量,结合Bootstrap自助法扩大样本量,再根据基于性能退化轨迹的补充信息方法来进行其可靠性评估。选取7组受试轴承的振动退化量,对比在完整数据和带有缺失数据情况下的分析结果,发现可合理利用原舍弃不合规试验的部分有效信息,使之增加可靠性评估的样本数,从而得到较不用这些数据更为准确的结果,且所得结果较用完整数据结果绝对值相差在01以内。对比由极大似然估计法和加权E-Bayes法分析试验寿命数据的结果,发现该方法所得评估结果更优,与试验实际相比误差在10%以内,对于提高评估精度及降低试验成本有积极的实际意义。

Geomagnetic activity associated with magnetic clouds,magnetic cloud-like structures and interplanetary shocks for the period 1995–2003

Using nine years (1995–2003) of solar wind plasma and magnetic field data, solar sunspot number, and geomagnetic activity data, we investigated the geomagnetic activity associated with magnetic clouds (MCs), magnetic cloud-like structures (MCLs), and interplanetary shock waves. Eighty-two MCs and one hundred and twenty-two MCLs were identified by using solar wind and magnetic field data from the WIND mission, and two hundred and sixty-one interplanetary shocks were identified over the period of 1995–2003 in the vicinity of Earth. It is found that MCs are typically more geoeffective than MCLs or interplanetary shocks. The occurrence frequency of MCs is not well correlated with sunspot number. By contrast, both occurrence frequency of MCLs and sudden storm commencements (SSCs) are well correlated with sunspot number.     

风扇进口噪声预测模型的改进

针对Heidmann模型对风扇进口低频噪声(1k Hz)预测结果偏低的情况,通过引入风扇叶尖弦长雷诺数和相关几何参数改进了Heidmann模型中风扇进口宽频噪声的频谱修正函数,确定了其中频谱修正系数为0.085。对比改进模型和Heidmann模型的风扇进口噪声预测结果发现:在亚声速工况下,改进的模型很好地改善了风扇进口低频噪声的预测结果,改进幅值可以达到约45d B;而在超声速工况下,由于风扇进口产生的组合单音噪声成为风扇进口噪声的主要组成部分,除了在小于100Hz的频域内,改进的模型与Heidmann模型的预测结果差别不大。     

基于一致关联数最大化的航迹关联算法

航迹关联(TTTA)是多传感器数据融合系统的核心模块之一,是系统误差估计和航迹融合的前提和基础。传感器存在的固有系统误差使得目标位置状态估计与真值发生偏离,容易诱发TTTA错误。传统的基于全局最小距离准则的TTTA算法,需要获得较高精度的系统误差估计,来对航迹数据进行误差补偿。针对传感器具有系统误差环境下的TTTA问题,在对TTTA进行间接评估的基础上,定义了一致关联数的概念,提出了一致关联数最大化的TTTA准则,并在稳健交替迭代的框架下完成算法设计。与距离函数不同,一致关联数是一个离散量,放松了对系统误差估计精度的要求。最后,仿真实验验证了所提算法的有效性。     

Solar activity dependence of total electron content derived from GPS observations over Mbarara

Vertical total electron content (VTEC) observed at Mbarara (geographic co-ordinates: 0.60°S, 30.74°E; geomagnetic coordinates: 10.22°S, 102.36°E), Uganda, for the period 2001–2009 have been used to study the diurnal, seasonal and solar activity variations. The daily values of the 10.7 cm radio flux (F_10.7) and sunspot number (R) were used to represent Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Variability (EUV). VTEC is generally higher during high solar activity period for all the seasons and increases from 0600 h LT and reaches its maximum value within 1400 h–1500 h LT. All analysed linear and quadratic fits demonstrate positive VTEC-F_10.7 and positive VTEC-R correlation, with all fits at 0000 h and 1400 h LT being significant with a confidence level of 95% when both linear and quadratic models are used. All the fits at 0600 h LT are insignificant with a confidence level of 95%. Generally, over Mbarara, quadratic fit shows that VTEC saturates during all seasons for F_10.7 more than 200 units and R more than 150 units. The result of this study can be used to improve the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) prediction of TEC around the equatorial region of the African sector.
