Storing and processing astrometric and photometric data on NEA: Current state and future in Russia

Numerous discoveries of asteroids unknown earlier led to a multiple increase in the number of information on small bodies of the Solar System. Huge volumes of information accumulated and obtained at observations of objects approaching the Earth’s orbit require storing and prompt processing, presenting more and more possibilities for studying distributions of small bodies of the Solar System and ways of their evolution. That is why development of information systems which will contain large volumes of data on small bodies of the Solar System and facilities for processing these data is actual and promising direction of activity.     

The Relativistic Proton Spectrometer (RPS) for the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission

The Relativistic Proton Spectrometer (RPS) on the Radiation Belt Storm Probes spacecraft is a particle spectrometer designed to measure the flux, angular distribution, and energy spectrum of protons from ～60 MeV to ～2000 MeV. RPS will investigate decades-old questions about the inner Van Allen belt proton environment: a nearby region of space that is relatively unexplored because of the hazards of spacecraft operation there and the difficulties in obtaining accurate proton measurements in an intense penetrating background. RPS is designed to provide the accuracy needed to answer questions about the sources and losses of the inner belt protons and to obtain the measurements required for the next-generation models of trapped protons in the magnetosphere. In addition to detailed information for individual protons, RPS features count rates at a 1-second timescale, internal radiation dosimetry, and information about electrostatic discharge events on the RBSP spacecraft that together will provide new information about space environmental hazards in the Earth’s magnetosphere.

导风轮叶片偏置对高压比串列离心压气机性能的影响

为提升高压比串列离心压气机的性能,借鉴常规一体化离心叶轮中偏置分流叶片的方法,针对某高压比串列离心压气机,应用数值仿真手段分析了串列叶轮中导风轮叶片周向偏置对压气机流场和性能的影响。通过对不同导风轮叶片偏置方案下压气机流场的分析,建立了压气机流动损失与偏置参数的关联性。研究表明:采用较大的偏置参数γ可降低导风轮叶片1前缘的激波强度,改善激波作用导致的泄漏涡破碎和流动分离,但过大或过小的γ方案中导风轮叶顶会出现二次泄漏致使低能流体的掺混损失增加;γ=65%方案压气机综合性能最佳,其压比和效率较γ=50%分别提高了1.5%和1.4%;对于串列离心压气机导风轮叶片周向位置的优化,在避免导风轮叶顶形成较强二次泄漏的前提下,应考虑采用较大的偏置参数γ,同时应防止诱导轮尾迹流体参与导风轮的叶顶泄漏。     

高超声速钝头体边界层转捩试验

为研究高超声钝头体边界层转捩以及头部钝度对转捩的影响,在FD-14和FD-14A两座激波风洞中开展了热流、压力扰动和高速纹影显示等综合测量。试验结果表明,转捩雷诺数关于钝度雷诺数的变化显示出转捩反转的趋势。压力扰动的功率谱密度（PSD）分析结果以流向离散分布云图形式显示,边界层高速纹影图像显示了第二模态波的发展、湍流的生成和熵层对边界层结构的显著影响。大头部钝度带来的强熵梯度熵层流动对边界层压力扰动频谱特性和流动结构影响显著,在转捩反转机理中起到重要作用。此外,马赫数对转捩的影响不容忽视。     

“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。
