One-dimensional numerical investigation on multi-cylinder gasoline engine fueled by micro-emulsions,CNG, and hydrogen in dual fuel mode

This research work is the novel state-of-the-art technology performed on multi-cylinder SI engine fueled compressed natural gas, emulsified fuel, and hydrogen as dual fuel. This work predicts the overall features of performance, combustion, and exhaust emissions of individual fuels based on AVL Boost simulation technology. Three types of alternative fuels have been compared and analyzed. The results show that hydrogen produces 20% more brake power than CNG and 25% more power than micro-emulsion fuel at 1500 r/min, which further increases the brake power of hydrogen, CNG, and micro-emulsions in the range of 25%, 20%, and 15% at higher engine speeds of 2500–4000 r/min, respectively. In addition, the brake-specific fuel consumption is the lowest for 100% hydrogen, followed by CNG 100% and then micro-emulsions at 1500 r/min. At 2500–5000 r/min, there is a significant drop in brake-specific fuel consumption due to a lean mixture at higher engine speeds. The CO, HC, and NO_x emissions significantly improve for hydrogen, CNG, and micro-emulsion fuel. Hydrogen fuel shows zero CO and HC emissions and is the main objective of this research to produce 0% carbon-based emissions with a slight increase in NO_x emissions, and CNG shows 30% lower CO emissions than micro-emulsions and 21.5% less hydrocarbon emissions than micro-emulsion fuel at stoichiometric air/fuel ratio.     

神经网络模型在压气机通流特性分析中的应用

为了解决通流特性分析程序中原始模型对压气机性能预测精度不足的问题,提高压气机通流特性分析过程的可靠性,基于对大量多圆弧叶栅的数值模拟结果建立了压气机叶栅性能数据库,并以该数据库为依托,采用神经网络建模方法建立了压气机叶栅基准损失系数和基准落后角模型。结果显示:两模型对叶栅基准损失系数和基准落后角的预测精度均满足工程应用要求,其精度分别为±0.002和±1°。在对采用神经网络模型的通流特性分析程序校验过程中发现,其无论对压气机整机性能还是对流动细节的预测精度上都获得了显著提高,尤其是在主流区。此外从压气机整体特性上看,基准损失系数和基准落后角精度的提高对非设计工况损失系数和落后角的预测精度影响是积极的。      

低雷诺数仿生分离流翼型气动特性初探

为了探索适合低雷诺数微型飞行器的翼型形式,基于对自然界鸟类和昆虫滑翔飞行时翅膀形状的观察,设计出一种由前缘削尖平板和后缘圆弧翼型组合而成的仿生分离流翼型。数值研究结果表明,气流在削尖平板的前缘点强制分离,形成大范围低压分离流动,随后在后部圆弧翼上表面再附形成稳定低压涡流区,从而实现较高的气动效率和较强的抵抗大气湍流的能力。上削尖平板可以使流动分离点固定在削尖点。相对于单独平板,仿生分离流翼型的升力系数有大幅提高,迎角为4°时提高了112%。此外,仿生分离流翼型可以在较宽的迎角范围内（4°~20°）保持高升力,但是迎角增加,阻力也快速增大,因此小迎角情况下（小于4°）气动效率更优。      

Structurally coupled characteristics of rotor blade using new rigid-flexible dynamic model based on geometrically exact formulation

In rotor dynamics, blades are normally modelled as a slender beam, in which elastic deformations are coupled with each other.

Finite rotations of the whole blade(on flapwise, lagwise, and torsional) are described as three global rigid degrees of freedom.The nonlinear deformation geometrics of the beam is built on geometrically exact beam theory.New expressions for blade ...     

Experimental study of a controlled variable double-baffle distortion generator engine test rig

In order to explore the total-pressure distortion test assessment method for a turbofan engine, a Controlled Variable Double-Baffle Distortion Generator(CVDBDG) with a horizontal symmetry moving form was developed, which can adjust the steady-state and time–variant distortion separately in real time. The inlet total-pressure distortion test was conducted on an afterburner turbofan engine. The distortion parameters of CVDBDG and the instability characteristics of the engine were measured. The experimental data were modeled and analyzed by using back propagation artificial neural networks, and the work envelope of CVDBDG was obtained. Based on the analysis of the data on the engine's instability, the properties of CVDBDG used for the stability assessment were preliminarily evaluated. The results show that CVDBDG can simulate both steady-state and time–variant distortions simultaneously in a range determined by three envelopes.Under the condition of symmetric double baffles, a critical depth of insertion exists, beyond which the symmetric baffles will generate an asymmetric flow field. In the case of double baffles, compared to a single baffle, the engine exhibited different instability characteristics. Based on CVDBDG, it is expected that more efficient engine stability and durability assessment methods can be developed.     

Twistor-based synchronous sliding mode control of spacecraft attitude and position

A synchronous control of relative attitude and position is required in separated ultra-quiet spacecraft, such as drag-free, disturbance-free, and distributed spacecraft. Thus, a twistor-based synchronous sliding mode control is investigated in this paper to solve the control problem of relative attitude and position among separated spacecraft modules. The twistor-based control design and the stability proof are implemented using the Modified Rodrigues Parameter (MRP). To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed control method, this paper presents a case study of separated spacecraft flying control considering the mass uncertainty and external disturbances. In addition, a simulation study of the Proportional-Derivative (PD) control is also presented for comparison. The results indicate that the twistor-based sliding mode controller can ensure global asymptotic stability. The states converge fast with ultra-precision and ultra-stability in both the attitude and position. Moreover, the proposed twistor-based sliding mode control system is robust to the mass uncertainty and external disturbances.

化学非平衡流动解耦算法的回顾与新进展

超声速化学非平衡流动的数值模拟一直是计算流体力学领域的难点,主要体现在如下几个方面：物理过程非常复杂,存在着激波、燃烧波等各种复杂波系的相互作用;超声速化学非平衡流动属于典型的时空多尺度物理问题,其控制方程存在严重的刚性,给数值求解带来了很大困难。对国内外的解耦算法研究现状简单综述后,主要介绍1993年刘君提出的解耦算法的理论基础,流动方程采用冻结流模型,源项方程模拟流体微团在当地绝热、定容的热力学系统内发生的化学反应过程。通过引入两个中间变量,即等效内能和等效比热比,将与温度无关的生成焓从流动方程组能量项中分离出去,源项方程组中包含等效内能,使用不同算子对流动方程和源项方程解耦求解。与传统解耦算法相比,源项方程的求解过程中包含状态参数和组元同时变化。结合刘君解耦算法机理和有限体积法空间平均特性,介绍近期在提高算法计算效率方面的研究进展,包括流动方程优化算法和耦合过程优化。采用优化算法对经典的激波诱导燃烧算例进行数值模拟,与不同文献结果进行对比,验证了优化算法的时空精度。通过总结经验发现化学非平衡反应仅发生在流场局部区域,提出质量生成率判据,结合相应模拟结果验证了方法的可行性,可以进一步提高化学反应算子的计算效率。
