新型空气低温跨声速原理性风洞研制

为解决常规风洞雷诺数模拟不足的问题，采用低温风洞已被证明是一条可行的途径。目前世界上几乎所有运转的低温风洞都是采用液氮气化吸热方法来降低和保持试验气体的温度。对于大型低温风洞，这种制冷方案存在着运转费用高昂和环境污染的缺点。为克服上述缺点，俞鸿儒院士提出了一种用空气作试验气体，藉热分离器制冷并回收排气冷量的新型低温风洞的概念。此原理性风洞的研制就是要从其基本原理、设计特点及实验结果等方面来验证和探讨这种新概念的可行性和应用前景。     

Earth as an extrasolar planet: Earth model validation using EPOXI earth observations

The EPOXI Discovery Mission of Opportunity reused the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft to obtain spatially and temporally resolved visible photometric and moderate resolution near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of Earth. These remote observations provide a rigorous validation of whole-disk Earth model simulations used to better understand remotely detectable extrasolar planet characteristics. We have used these data to upgrade, correct, and validate the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Virtual Planetary Laboratory three-dimensional line-by-line, multiple-scattering spectral Earth model. This comprehensive model now includes specular reflectance from the ocean and explicitly includes atmospheric effects such as Rayleigh scattering, gas absorption, and temperature structure. We have used this model to generate spatially and temporally resolved synthetic spectra and images of Earth for the dates of EPOXI observation. Model parameters were varied to yield an optimum fit to the data. We found that a minimum spatial resolution of ～100 pixels on the visible disk, and four categories of water clouds, which were defined by using observed cloud positions and optical thicknesses, were needed to yield acceptable fits. The validated model provides a simultaneous fit to Earth's lightcurve, absolute brightness, and spectral data, with a root-mean-square (RMS) error of typically less than 3% for the multiwavelength lightcurves and residuals of ～10% for the absolute brightness throughout the visible and NIR spectral range. We have extended our validation into the mid-infrared by comparing the model to high spectral resolution observations of Earth from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, obtaining a fit with residuals of ～7% and brightness temperature errors of less than 1?K in the atmospheric window. For the purpose of understanding the observable characteristics of the distant Earth at arbitrary viewing geometry and observing cadence, our validated forward model can be used to simulate Earth's time-dependent brightness and spectral properties for wavelengths from the far ultraviolet to the far infrared.

Properties of an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star: Earth observed by the EPOXI mission

NASA's EPOXI mission observed the disc-integrated Earth and Moon to test techniques for reconnoitering extrasolar terrestrial planets, using the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft to observe Earth at the beginning and end of Northern Hemisphere spring, 2008, from a range of ～1/6 to 1/3 AU. These observations furnish high-precision and high-cadence empirical photometry and spectroscopy of Earth, suitable as "ground truth" for numerically simulating realistic observational scenarios for an Earth-like exoplanet with finite signal-to-noise ratio. Earth was observed at near-equatorial sub-spacecraft latitude on 18-19 March, 28-29 May, and 4-5 June (UT), in the range of 372-4540?nm wavelength with low visible resolving power (λ/Δλ=5-13) and moderate IR resolving power (λ/Δλ=215-730). Spectrophotometry in seven filters yields light curves at ～372-948?nm filter-averaged wavelength, modulated by Earth's rotation with peak-to-peak amplitude of ≤20%. The spatially resolved Sun glint is a minor contributor to disc-integrated reflectance. Spectroscopy at 1100-4540?nm reveals gaseous water and carbon dioxide, with minor features of molecular oxygen, methane, and nitrous oxide. One-day changes in global cloud cover resulted in differences between the light curve beginning and end of ≤5%. The light curve of a lunar transit of Earth on 29 May is color-dependent due to the Moon's red spectrum partially occulting Earth's relatively blue spectrum. The "vegetation red edge" spectral contrast observed between two long-wavelength visible/near-IR bands is ambiguous, not clearly distinguishing between the verdant Earth diluted by cloud cover versus the desolate mineral regolith of the Moon. Spectrophotometry in at least one other comparison band at short wavelength is required to distinguish between Earth-like and Moon-like surfaces in reconnaissance observations. However, measurements at 850?nm alone, the high-reflectance side of the red edge, could be sufficient to establish periodicity in the light curve and deduce Earth's diurnal period and the existence of fixed surface units.

为了研究水润滑高分子材料轴承的微观界面的流场特性,本文以单个微凹体中的流场作为研究对象,建立了单个微凹体流动模型。采用多松弛格子玻尔兹曼方法MRT-LBM (multi-relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method)对单个微凹体的流体流动问题进行数值模拟。研究了流场中速度的变化规律,以及流场中流线分布随雷诺数的变化规律。结果表明当雷诺数较低时,流场处于稳定性流动状态;当雷诺数达到一定程度时,流场处于周期流动状态;当雷诺数很高时,流场处于湍流运动状态。探究微观流场中复杂的变化规律,为研究水润滑高分子材料轴承的润滑和摩擦性能提供一些理论支撑。     

基于GPS和里程计的快速行进间粗对准方法

针对车载捷联惯导系统(SINS),提出一种快速行进间粗对准方法。将捷联矩阵分解为3个矩阵相乘,利用GPS提供的载体在导航坐标系的速度和里程计提供的载体在载体坐标系的速度构建不共线向量,求解初始载体坐标系相对惯性坐标系的常值转换矩阵,进而求得初始姿态矩阵。该对准方法对载车的唯一要求是在对准过程中做一个转弯机动。与现有对准方法相比,该方法没有用到加速度计信息。仿真结果表明,该方法能在1 min之内完成粗对准,采用零偏为0.1(°)/h的低精度陀螺,对准误差小于0.3°。
