A Weighted Inner Product Estimator in the Geometric Algebra of Euclidean 3-Space for Source Localization Using an EM Vector-sensor

In this paper, the source localization by utilizing the measurements of a single electromagnetic (EM) vector-sensor is investigated in the framework of the geometric algebra of Euclidean 3-space. In order to describe the orthogonality among the electric and magnetic measurements, two multivectors of the geometric algebra of Euclidean 3-space (G3) are used to model the outputs of a spatially collocated EM vector-sensor. Two estimators for the wave propagation vector estimation are then formulated by the inner product between a vector and a bivector in the G3. Since the information used by the two estimators is different, a weighted inner product estimator is then proposed to fuse the two estimators together in the sense of the minimum mean square error (MMSE). Analytical results show that the statistical performances of the weighted inner product estimator are always better than its traditional cross product counterpart. The efficacy of the weighted inner product estimator and the correctness of the analytical predictions are demonstrated by simulation results.     

Design and Performance of an Improved Trapped Vortex Combustor

 A trapped vortex combustor (TVC) has been a very promising novel concept for it offers improvements in lean blow out, altitude relight, operating range, as well as a potential to decrease NO_x emissions compared to conventional combustors. The present paper discusses the improved designs of the new combustor over the prior ones of our research group, including that: a) the overall dimensions, both axial and radial, are reduced to those of an actual aero-engine combustor; b) the air flow distribution is optimized, and especially 15% of the air is fed into the liner as cooling air; c) a straight-wall diffuser with divergence angle 9癷s added. A series of experiments (cavity-fueled only, under atmospheric pressure) has been conducted to investigate the performance of the improved TVC. Experimental results show that at the inlet temperature of 523 K, the inlet pressure of 0.1 MPa, stable operation of the TVC test rig is observed for the Mach number 0.15-0.34, indicating good flame stability; the combustion efficiency obtained in this paper falls into the range of 60%-96%; as the total excess air ratio increases, the combustion efficiency decreases, while the increase of the inlet temperature is beneficial to high combustion efficiency; besides, the optimal Mach numbers for high combustion efficiency under different inlet conditions are confirmed. The outlet temperature profiles feature a bottom in the mid-height of the exit. This paper demonstrates the feasibility for the TVC to be applied to a realistic aero-engine preliminarily and provides reference for TVC design.

带执行机构的航空发动机喷口控制器设计方法

依据发动机非线性模型求取喷口的动态模型时,存在未建模动态对线性动态模型的建模误差,由此设计的喷口控制器较难达到设计要求,尤其在大范围飞行包线内喷口控制的动态性能将会变坏;同时由于传感器噪声问题、喷口执行机构的位置饱和限制、速率饱和限制的问题,以及PI控制中的积分饱和问题的存在,这些饱和限制等干扰将会影响PI控制器的设计性能。针对上述问题提出了一种带执行机构的喷口控制器的设计方法和抑制饱和限制干扰的喷口控制逻辑设计方法。首先获取了带执行机构的线性动态增广模型,然后针对该增广模型利用迭代线性不等式方法计算了喷口的鲁棒PI控制器,并对控制器输出进行抗饱和修正,从而提高了喷口控制器的鲁棒性。引入所述方法在发动机半物理仿真中进行了验证,在全飞行包线内获得了满意的喷口控制鲁棒性能。

利用上游斜坡改善气膜冷却效率的数值研究

为了获得气膜孔上游放置斜坡对气膜冷却效率的影响规律,采用数值模拟方法研究了斜坡的台阶高度分别为0.3D,0.5D,0.75D,1.0D和1.5D时不同吹风比下的流动过程和冷却效率分布情况,并与常规气膜孔冷却结构形式进行对比,以揭示斜坡对气膜冷却效率改善作用的影响机理。研究表明,在气膜孔上游设置斜坡,延缓了主流通过反向涡对对冷却气流的掺混作用,反向涡对强度减弱,冷却气流出流后的贴壁效果更好,提高了气膜冷却效率,随着吹风比的增加,斜坡高度较高时无论是在气膜孔中心线处还是在两气膜孔之间区域的冷却效率值都得到大幅度的提高。
