Aerodynamic design of tractor propeller for high-performance distributed electric propulsion aircraft

Aiming to maximize the aerodynamic performance of the Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) aircraft, a hybrid design framework which focuses on the aerodynamic performance of the propeller/wing integration has been developed and validated numerically. Variable-fidelity modelling for propeller aerodynamics has been used to achieve computational efficiency with reasonable accuracy. By optimizing the aerodynamic loading distributions on the tractor propeller disk, the induced slipstream is redistributed into a form that is beneficial for the wing downstream, based on which the propeller blade geometry is generated through a rapid inversed design procedure. As compared with the Minimum Induced Loss (MIL) propeller at a specified thrust level, significant improvements of both the lift-to-drag ratio of the wing and the propeller/wing integrated aerodynamic efficiency is achieved, which shows great promise to deliver aerodynamic benefits for the wing within the propeller slipstream without any additional devices.     

基于信号分类的时频分布

在将时频分析应用于模式识别的应用中 ,传统的方法是先用时频分析方法表示所获得的信号 ,然后根据时频分布提取相应的特征 ,最后将所提取到的特征输入到分类器进行分类。为了使得时频分布具有好的局部聚焦性和抑制交叉项 ,学者对一些分布进行改进 ,如采用平滑函数 ,或者是采用降低干扰核设计等等。但其目的是获得良好的时频分布 ,其最终目的不是应用于信号分类。介绍了一种基于信号分类的时频分布设计 ,其目的不是获得良好的时频分布 ,而是获得很好的分类效果。

Post-midnight equatorial irregularity distributions and vertical drift velocity variations during solstices

Longitudinal distributions of post-midnight equatorial ionospheric irregularity occurrences observed by ROCSAT-1 (1st satellite of the Republic of China) during moderate to high solar activity years in two solstices are studied with respect to the vertical drift velocity and density variations. The post-midnight irregularity distributions are found to be similar to the well-documented pre-midnight ones, but are different from some published distributions taken during solar minimum years. Even though the post-midnight ionosphere is sinking in general, longitudes of frequent positive vertical drift and high density seems to coincide with the longitudes of high irregularity occurrences. Large scatters found in the vertical drift velocity and density around the dip equator in different ROCSAT-1 orbits indicate the existence of large and frequent variations in the vertical drift velocity and density that seem to be able to provide sufficient perturbations for the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability to cause the irregularity occurrences. The need of seeding agents such as gravity waves from atmospheric convective clouds to initiate the Rayleigh-Taylor instability may not be necessary.

Using S-band dual polarized radar for convective/stratiform rain indexing and the correspondence with AMSR-E GSFC profiling algorithm

The separation of rain types in convective and stratiform regimes has long been a goal in microwave remote sensing of precipitation research. In this essence, a dual polarized radar based indexing scheme that provides information on convective and stratiform (C/S) rain regimes has been presented in correspondence with advanced microwave scanning radiometer – earth observing system (AMSR-E) GSFC profiling algorithm estimate of convective rain percentage. The dual polarized radar based C/S indexing scheme first retrieves the normalized gamma drop size distribution parameters, median volume drop diameter (D₀) and concentration parameter (N_w), from dual polarized radar measurements Z_H and Z_DR, representing reflectivity and differential reflectivity respectively, by means of the genetic programming approach. Next, the C/S rain index is calculated based on the formulation of an empirical relation in N_w–D₀ domain. The scheme has been inspected and applied on measurements from the S-band Chilbolton dual polarized radar. A considerable number of “coincident” cases from the radar and the AMSR-E observations are investigated. It has been revealed that the dual polarized radar based C/S rain indexing is in a similar pattern with the AMSR-E GSFC profiling algorithm estimate of convective rain percentage. Generally, as C/S rain index value increases, which signifies a stratiform to convective trend, the AMSR-E convective rain percentage also increases.     

Simulation of depth–dose distributions for various ions in polyethylene medium

Study of depth–dose distributions for intermediate energy ion beams in tissue-like media such as polyethylene (CH₂)_n provides a good platform for further improvements in the fields of hadrontherapy and space radiation shielding. The depth–dose distributions for ¹²C ions at various energies and for light and intermediate ion beams (³He, ¹⁶O, ²⁰Ne and ²⁸Si) as well as for heavy ions ⁵⁶Fe in polyethylene were estimated by using simulation toolkit: Geant4. Calculations were performed mainly by considering two different combinations of standard electromagnetic (EM), binary cascade (BIC), statistical multifragmentation (SMF) and Fermi breakup (FB) models. The energies of the ion beams were selected to achieve the Bragg peaks at predefined position (∼60 mm) and as per their availability. Variations of peak-to-entrance ratio (from 7.44 ± 0.05 to 8.87 ± 0.05), entrance dose (from 2.89 ± 0.01 to 203.71 ± 0.63 MeV/mm) and entrance stopping power (from 3.608 to 208.858 MeV/mm, calculated by SRIM) with atomic number (Z) were presented in a systematic manner. The better peak-to-entrance ratio and less entrance dose in the region Z = 2 to 8 (i.e. ³He to ¹⁶O) may provide the suitability of the ion beams for hadrontherapy.     

下腹板长度对单边膨胀喷管性能的影响

在落压比为4~60范围内,对两个不同下腹板长度的单边膨胀喷管模型进行了试验研究,得到了其壁面静压分布,并对4种不同下腹板长度的喷管模型进行了数值模拟研究,获得了总体性能参数.结果表明:在整个落压比范围内,喷管流动都呈现很强的三维特征,而且在高落压比条件下上膨胀面两侧边气流出现了横向分离.喷管轴向推力系数峰值随下腹板长度增大而增加,峰值对应的落压比也逐渐增大并趋近设计点.在落压比为30~80范围内,轴向推力系数随着下腹板长度增大而增加,在设计点轴向推力系数的最大值和最小值相差约1.8%;在特定低落压比条件下,较短下腹板长度的喷管具有高的轴向推力系数.气流矢量角随下腹板长度增加而增大,在设计点最大值和最小值分别为6.03°和-1.83°.
