Experimental investigation of hot and cold side jet interaction with a supersonic cross-flow

This paper reports on experimental aerodynamic investigations on a high-speed missile with side jet control especially with regard to the interaction of cold and hot side jets with supersonic cross-flow. The hot jets were generated with solid propellants. To analyze the effect of the hot jet in relation to side jet control, wall pressure distributions were measured in the area of jet interaction. As a test parameter, the jet pressure ratio was varied and schlieren images were taken to visualize the shocks. In addition, the development of large-scale vortex structures on hot gas jets was detected with high-speed videos. The frame sequences show periodical turbulent jet structures and permit the manual evaluation of their spatial distribution. Analyzing the images, the convection velocities of the large-scale structures and their convection angles were determined. The convection velocities reach the magnitude of cross-flow velocity shortly behind the hot jet exit.     

强磁暴期间TIEGCM模式与CHAMP卫星热层大气密度的比较分析

利用NCAR-TIEGCM模式计算了2003年11月20—21日强磁暴期间410km高度上的大气密度,并与CHAMP/STAR加速度计反演数据进行对比和分析. 结果表明,模式结果能够准确反映磁暴期间大气密度的分布和变化情况,与实测结果在变化趋势和量级上具有较好的一致性,但在精细结构和数值大小上仍存在一定差异. 模式低估了磁暴期间大气密度的增幅,实测大气密度增幅高达250%～400%,而模式结果为100%～125%. 模式结果与实测数据的偏差在高纬地区高于低纬地区,日侧高于夜侧. 通过模式和实测数据的分析发现,磁暴期间大气密度扰动具有日夜侧和南北半球不对称性. 此外,模式能够准确反映磁暴期间大气密度扰动从高纬向低纬的传播以及大气密度对SYM-H指数响应的延迟特性.     

Millimeter wave radiation sources visible in solar corona

Coronal millimeter wave sources (CMMS) have been observed at radio frequencies 22–90 GHz (at wavelengths 3–13 mm). The observed CMMS have been classified into three different categories according to their time scale and relation to other wave-length events. The CMMS indicate enhancement of electron density in the corona, as well as magnetic loop structures. The CMMS are evidence of dynamical processes taking place at the lower levels of the corona, propagating into the higher levels.     

Net electric power of concentrating solar mirror systems for application in space as a function of the distance to the sun

The use of solar radiation by means of concentrating solar mirror systems, such as parabolic and spheric configurations, mainly is an engineering problem. A decisive characteristic for the optimisation of a complete system with turboelectric power conversion is the thermal cycle applied. Besides the Carnot process, here taken up into the study as an ideal comparative process, suitable processes for the technological realisation are the Brayton process and the Rankine process. The Brayton process is a typical gas turbine process using only the gaseous phase. The Rankine process is a steam engine process using liquid and gaseous phase.The work in hand shows how such solar systems with turboelectric conversion are optimised with respect to their specific weight (kg/kW_e) and how the distance to the sun as well as technological data enter into the analysis.As expected, the Carnot cycle as an ideal comparative process for both types of systems shows the best results for the optimum specific mass of the system. Regarding the real processes, the Rankine cycle shows more favourable characteristics than the Brayton cycle. The difference of the specific masses of the real processes mainly results from the different thermal conditions at the radiator.The influence of the distance to the sun is as expected. The nearer to the sun the solar power system operates, the better is the optimum specific mass of the system. For distances to the sun between 0.3 and 1.0 AU the spheric system shows a better behaviour than the parabolic system. For distances to the sun greater than 2.0 AU the parabolic system shows better behaviour of the specific weight. In the region between 1 and 2 AU the better optimum specific mass of the system belongs to the technological data used in the analysis.     

Comparison of nuclear and solar power plants with turboelectric generators for application in space

The aim of the analysis is to determine and to compare the specific mass of nuclear and solar power plants for application in space depending on technological data as well as on data subject to the mission.On the basis of the known theory of Ruppe and Blumenberg[1–3], nuclear power plants with turboelectric generators as well as solar-thermal power plants with parabolic or spheric mirrors are being analysed. The following thermodynamic processes are applied: the Rankine process, the Brayton process and—as an ideal comparative process—the Carnot process. An important parameter of the analysis for nuclear power plants is the net electric power, for the solar-thermal power plant the distance to the sun is of importance.

Magnetic Field Amplification in Galaxy Clusters and Its Simulation

We review the present theoretical and numerical understanding of magnetic field amplification in cosmic large-scale structure, on length scales of galaxy clusters and beyond. Structure formation drives compression and turbulence, which amplify tiny magnetic seed fields to the microGauss values that are observed in the intracluster medium. This process is intimately connected to the properties of turbulence and the microphysics of the intra-cluster medium. Additional roles are played by merger induced shocks that sweep through the intra-cluster medium and motions induced by sloshing cool cores. The accurate simulation of magnetic field amplification in clusters still poses a serious challenge for simulations of cosmological structure formation. We review the current literature on cosmological simulations that include magnetic fields and outline theoretical as well as numerical challenges.
