A numerical study of noontime bite-outs in F2-region electron density

Noontime bite-outs in ionospheric F₂-region electron density in the geomagnetic equatorial, low, and middle latitudes have been reproduced in this study using the Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model (TIEGCM). The different driving mechanisms of F₂-region noontime bite-outs at different latitudes were further verified by modeling simulation. In the geomagnetic equator, the upward ExB plasma drifts are the main process to produce the noontime bite-outs in ionospheric electron density. In the geomagnetic low latitudes, both the electrical fields and poleward meridional winds play a crucial role in forming the noontime bite-outs. In contrast to the case at the geomagnetic equator, a weaker fountain effect might be an favorable condition for the noontime bite-outs to occur at low latitudes. For geomagnetic middle latitudes, an upward plasma flux and poleward meridional winds are the dominated drivers in producing the noontime bite-outs. Modeling results show that a large upward plasma flux and poleward meridional winds make the noontime bite-outs to occur and observable over middle latitudes.     

Trajectory optimisation in electrical discharge machining of three-dimensional curved and twisted channels

Numerical control electrical discharge machining(NC EDM) is one of the most widely used machining technologies for manufacturing a closed blisk flow path, particularly for three-dimensional(3D) curved and twisted flow channels. In this process, tool electrode design and machining trajectory planning are the key factors affecting machining accessibility and efficiency. Herein, to reduce the difficulty in designing the electrode and its motion path in the closed curved and twisted channels, a heur...     

Development and coupling test of active spacecraft potential control – Next generation (ASPOC-NG)

The active spacecraft potential control (ASPOC) system developed in the 1990s emits positive ions to neutralise the spacecraft potential, such as used in several missions like Geotail, Equator-S, Cluster, Doublestar and MMS. With the experience gained, the next generation of the active spacecraft potential control (ASPOC-NG) instrument has been developed over the last three years. Thereby, three emission technologies were tested including Liquid Metal Ion Source (LMIS), Liquid Metal Electron Source (LMES) and Solid Metal Electron Source (SMES). The development of the emitter module by FOTEC and the corresponding electronics control unit by IWF is presented. Optimisations were carried out with the focus on the reduction of mass and power consumption to comply with the requirements of future scientific missions. Coupling tests of the modules and the electronics control unit were performed including range, accuracy and lifetime tests. Both ASPOC-NG instruments for positive and negative charge compensation and their performance values show excellent results.     

描述碳纳米管内水分子单链的深度学习势

碳纳米管通道内的受限水具有与体相水截然不同的物理力学性质。当纳米管直径低至约0.8 nm时，通道内水分子形成与生物水通道内类似的单链结构，并显现出极高的流速和离子排斥能力。尽管基于经验势的分子动力学模拟在揭示单链水的奇特行为方面发挥了重要作用，但其模拟结果通常依赖于水模型和壁面-水作用参数选取。本文以从头算分子动力学计算结果为数据集，通过深度神经网络训练获得描述碳纳米管内单链水的深度学习势。基于深度学习势的分子动力学模拟在势能和原子受力方面具有近似第一性原理水平的准确性但低得多的计算成本，能准确重现从头算分子动力学得到的单链水性质，包括O-H键长、H-O-H键角、取向角和密度分布等。此外，本文对比了该深度学习势与常用经典水模型所得结果的异同。本文所构建的深度学习势为以接近第一性原理的准确性进行碳纳米管内单链水体系的大尺寸、长时间模拟提供了可能。     

A novel adaptive lateral reentry guidance algorithm with complex distributed no-fly zones constraints

Aimed at complex distributed no-fly zones avoidance problems, a novel adaptive lateral reentry guidance algorithm is proposed. Firstly, by introducing the improved attractive and repulsive potential fields, an improved artificial potential field method is developed. Combined with the proposed judgment criterion for whether a no-fly zone has been avoided, the proposed improved artificial potential field method effectively solves the reference heading angle determination problem under the constrai...
