Ionospheric F2-Layer critical frequency retrieved from COSMIC radio occultation: A statistical comparison with measurements from a meridional ionosonde chain over Southeast Asia

In this paper, we compared the F2-Layer critical frequency (foF2) derived from FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC radio occultation (RO) and ionosondes at Chiang Mai, Chumphon and Kototabang during the years 2008–2015 to evaluate the performance of COSMIC RO over Southeast Asia region. The results show that the time development of foF2 values derived from COSMIC RO generally agrees well with those from ionosonde measurements. However, the differences between the foF2 derived from COSMIC RO and that derived from ionosonde observations display latitudinal dependence. COSMIC RO tends to underestimate foF2 at Chiang Mai and Kototabang, which is near to the north EIA crest and the south one, respectively, while a little overestimate foF2 at Chumphon, which is close to the geomagnetic equator. COSMIC RO agrees best with ionosonde at Chumphon and worst at Chiang Mai. At each ionosonde station, the quality of COSMIC RO data degrades with the increase of solar activity. In addition, at the station Chiang Mai and Kototabang, COSMIC RO performs better in summer than in equinox and winter. Furthermore, the differences in foF2 derived from COSMIC RO and that from ionosonde measurements vary with local time, i.e., the differences in foF2 are generally smaller at night and larger in noontime when equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) is well developed.     

Grinding temperature and energy ratio coefficient in MQL grinding of high-temperature nickel-base alloy by using different vegetable oils as base oil

Vegetable oil can be used as a base oil in minimal quantity of lubrication(MQL). This study compared the performances of MQL grinding by using castor oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, and palm oil as base oils. A K-P36 numerical-control precision surface grinder was used to perform plain grinding on a workpiece material with a high-temperature nickel base alloy. A YDM–III 99 three-dimensional dynamometer was used to measure grinding force,and a clip-type thermocouple was used to determine grinding temperature. The grinding force, grinding temperature, and energy ratio coefficient of MQL grinding were compared among the seven vegetable oil types. Results revealed that(1) castor oil-based MQL grinding yields the lowest grinding force but exhibits the highest grinding temperature and energy ratio coefficient;(2) palm oil-based MQL grinding generates the second lowest grinding force but shows the lowest grinding temperature and energy ratio coefficient;(3) MQL grinding based on the five other vegetable oils produces similar grinding forces, grinding temperatures, and energy ratio coefficients, with values ranging between those of castor oil and palm oil;(4) viscosity significantly influences grinding force and grinding temperature to a greater extent than fatty acid varieties and contents in vegetable oils;(5) although more viscous vegetable oil exhibits greater lubrication and significantly lower grinding force than less viscous vegetable oil, high viscosity reduces the heat exchange capability of vegetable oil and thus yields a high grinding temperature;(6) saturated fatty acid is a more efficient lubricant than unsaturated fatty acid; and(7) a short carbon chain transfers heat more effectively than a long carbon chain. Palm oil is the optimum base oil of MQL grinding, and this base oil yields 26.98 N tangential grinding force,87.10 N normal grinding force, 119.6 °C grinding temperature, and 42.7% energy ratio coefficient.

圆形和矩形燃气射流在受限液体中扩展特性的对比研究

为研究不同喷孔结构的燃气射流在受限液体工质空间的扩展特性,采用VOF(Volume of fluids)模型分别对圆柱形充液室中圆形射流和矩形射流扩展过程进行气水耦合数值求解。考虑了燃气可压缩性、流体粘性和热量交换因素对射流扩展特性的影响。通过数值模拟,获得圆形射流扩展形态及轴向速度计算值,与实验结果吻合较好。在此基础上,进一步对比分析了矩形射流和圆形射流的扩展特性,获得射流场中密度、压力、温度和速度的分布图以及涡的演化过程。计算结果表明:燃气自喷孔喷出,由于出口处压力较大,高温燃气继续膨胀产生膨胀波,膨胀波在气液界面反射形成压缩波,圆形射流的膨胀波和压缩波均比矩形射流强。燃气射流扩展过程中,由于周围液体惯性效应,气液卷吸掺混效应以及膨胀压缩波作用,圆形射流的压力场和温度场分布较矩形射流更加复杂,同时刻的圆形射流轴向扩展速度也比矩形射流小。从速度云图发现矩形射流的速度核心区比圆形射流速度核心区要短;同时从圆形射流和矩形射流不同截面流向速度分布图发现流向速度峰值均发生了偏移,但矩形射流发生偏移的区间更长,偏离距离更远。     

端壁组合射流对高速扩压叶栅损失特性的影响

提出了一种端壁组合射流技术以控制进口马赫数0.67的高速扩压叶栅端区流动。通过前缘射流旋涡可以增强端壁附面层与主流间的流体交换,阻碍横向二次流动,减小角区低能流体堆积;而采用角区射流注入能量能够进一步减弱吸力面侧流动分离。以上组合控制方法可较单独采用前缘或角区射流更有效减小栅内损失,提高其气动性能。当角区射流位于近吸力面侧的分离起始位置附近时,其改善栅内流动的效果最佳;远离吸力面的端壁射流则可抑制端区低能流体横向迁移及其与分离区流体间的相互作用,但其减小损失的效果弱于近吸力面侧的射流。随着射流总压比的增加,组合射流减小损失的效果先增加后减小;过大的总压比会加剧射流与来流间的掺混损失,使得叶栅气动性能恶化。当射流总压比为1.2时,损失减小最大可达12.6%,而射流流量仅相当于叶栅进口流量的0.64%。

流场可压缩性对涡相互作用影响的数值研究

涡相互作用作为冲压发动机喷注装置的典型抽象流动现象,研究其可压缩性影响对于认识包含化学反应的真实燃料喷射场具有一定基础理论价值。基于经过数值验证的可压缩Navier-Stokes算法与压力泊松方程初始条件设置方法研究流场可压缩性对涡相互作用演化过程的影响。结果表明,以较高涡旋马赫数表征的可压缩性在改变涡对形态的同时,具有延缓涡旋相互靠近,迟滞融合进程的作用。关于涡对系统开始融合的临界条件,可压缩相互作用开始的临界展弦比与无量纲时间相比于低速涡对明显提高。为在无量纲时间意义下统一不同马赫数涡对相互作用的进程,从涡心密度随时间变化规律出发在不可压涡对特征时间的基础上,初步构建了考虑可压缩性的时间尺度修正关系。
