考虑气膜冷却的涡轮静叶三维优化

为研究气冷涡轮叶片设计的特点,搭建了一个可以对采用气膜冷却的气冷涡轮叶片进行全三维优化的平台,该平台可在有冷气喷射的条件下对叶片进行多目标优化.优化平台中采用11参数法对叶片进行造型.针对该造型方法和优化设计的要求对优化变量的选取和优化策略以及优化目标的设定进行了一定的探讨,采用多岛遗传算法对优化问题进行寻优.采用该平台对某航空涡轮第一级静叶进行了优化.由于对不同目标进行了加权处理,所以随着优化目标侧重点的不同,优化方案的叶型呈现出不同特点,其气动效率和冷却效果均有所改善.     

固有模态函数(IMF)积检测器——以低信噪比情况下超宽带雷达信号检测为例

首次提出了一种固有模态函数积检测器.首先通过经验模式分解(EMD)把带噪信号分解成有限个固有模态函数(IMF).检测的基本思路是,对各个IMF分量的绝对值作逐点乘积,用于抑制噪声并凸现信号,最后进行滤波和判决.本文以UWB信号为例,数据源于UWB雷达实验系统.在低信噪比(SNR),UWB脉冲与噪声波形相似,且噪声概率密度函数(PDF)未知情况下,进行实验.结果表明,当峰峰信噪比低于5 dB时,该检测器性能优于Teager能量算子(TEO).     

Discrete-time observability and estimability analysis for bearings-only target motion analysis

Observability in the context of bearings-only tracking (BOT) is still the subject of important literature. Different from previous approaches, where continuous-time analysis was considered, our approach relies on discrete-time analysis. It is then shown that this allows us to use directly and efficiently the simple formalisms of linear algebra. Using the direct approach, observability analysis is essentially reduced to basic considerations about subspace dimensions. Even if this approach is conceptually quite direct, it becomes more and more complex as the source-encounter scenario complexity increases. For complex scenarios, the dual approach may present some advantages essentially due to the direct use of multilinear algebra. New results about BOT observability for maneuvering sources are thus obtained. Observability analysis is then extended to unknown instants of source velocity changes. Even if observability analysis provides thorough insights about the algebraic structure of the BOT problem, the optimization of the observer maneuvers is essentially a control problem. Basic algebraic considerations prove that a relevant cost functional for this control problem is the determinant of the Fisher information matrix (FIM). So, a large part of this work is devoted to the analysis of this cost functional. Using multilinear algebra, general approximations of this functional are given. In order to involve only directly estimable parameters, the source bearing-rates are examined. Using these approximations, a general framework for optimizing the observer trajectory is derived which allow us to approximate the optimal sequence of controls. It is worth stressing that our approach does not require the knowledge of the source trajectory parameters and is still valid for a maneuvering source.     

变转速下跨声速压气机的耦合扩稳方法

为了探索在不同转速下均可有效提高压气机失速裕度的扩稳方法,以跨声速压气机为研究对象,利用缝式机匣处理和叶顶喷气进行耦合设计,并参数化研究了缝数目、缝长、缝宽及喷嘴周向宽度对压气机性能的影响规律,结合非定常数值模拟揭示了耦合型机匣处理的扩稳机理。研究结果表明,在100%、80%、60%转速下,压气机失速裕度分别提高9.31%、8.26%、8.68%,设计点效率分别降低0.77%、0.23%、0.41%。缝数目、缝长、缝宽是影响压气机失速裕度及效率的显著因素,而喷嘴周向宽度对压气机失速裕度及效率的影响较小。耦合型机匣处理内形成了抽吸、喷气的耦合流动循环,耦合强度的增加有利于压气机失速裕度的提高,但会降低压气机效率。耦合型机匣处理提高了叶顶负荷,但降低了叶顶泄漏强度,极大消除了叶顶泄漏涡引起的叶顶堵塞,这是压气机失速裕度提高的主要原因。耦合型机匣处理具有在不同转速下均能有效扩稳的潜力。     

Modeling irregular small bodies gravity field via extreme learning machines and Bayesian optimization

Close proximity operations around small bodies are extremely challenging due to their uncertain dynamical environment. Autonomous guidance and navigation around small bodies require fast and accurate modeling of the gravitational field for potential on-board computation. In this paper, we investigate a model-based, data-driven approach to compute and predict the gravitational acceleration around irregular small bodies. More specifically, we employ Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) theories to design, train and validate Single-Layer Feedforward Networks (SLFN) capable of learning the relationship between the spacecraft position and the gravitational acceleration. ELM-base neural networks are trained without iterative tuning therefore dramatically reducing the training time. Analysis of performance in constant density models for asteroid 25143 Itokawa and comet 67/P Churyumov-Gerasimenko show that ELM-based SLFN are able learn the desired functional relationship both globally and in selected localized areas near the surface. The latter results in a robust neural algorithm for on-board, real-time calculation of the gravity field needed for guidance and control in close-proximity operations near the asteroid surface.

Target motion analysis with multiple arrays: performance analysis

The performance analysis of source trajectory estimation using measurements provided by multiple platforms (or arrays) is studied. In numerous practical situations, the maneuvering ability of the receiver (e.g., a ship towing linear arrays) is limited, leading to the assumption that the observer motion is rectilinear and uniform. Even if this hypothesis appears quite restrictive, practical and tactical considerations fully justify its interest. This leads to consider multiple (platform) target motion analysis (denoted MTMA) and to analyze the performance of such trajectory estimation methods     

中等磁暴太阳周分布的统计研究

依据实际观测的中等磁暴数据,统计分析了中等磁暴的太阳周分布.分析结果表明,在一个太阳活动周内,每年中等磁暴随时间的变化出现多个峰值,其中,最大峰值均出现在太阳活动周的下降段,即中等磁暴的峰值比太阳黑子数平滑年均值的峰值要滞后,滞后的时间为2～3年.超过70%的中等磁暴出现在太阳活动周的下降段,这表明绝大多数中等磁暴出现在太阳活动周的下降段.通过对中等磁暴平滑月均值与太阳黑子数平滑月均值相位差的计算分析发现,中等磁暴峰值出现的时间比太阳黑子数峰值出现的时间要滞后,不同太阳活动周中等磁暴峰值出现的时间与太阳黑子数峰值时间滞后的程度不同.
