Hemisphere-coupled modeling of nighttime medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances

Nighttime medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs), which have tilted frontal structures in the midlatitude ionosphere, are investigated by the midlatitude ionosphere electrodynamics coupling (MIECO) model in this study. It has been proposed that the electrodynamic coupling between the E and F regions plays an important role in generating MSTIDs within a few hours. An intriguing aspect of MSTIDs is that they were simultaneously observed at magnetic conjugate locations in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. In order to study the hemisphere-coupled electrodynamics, the MIECO model has been upgraded to consist of two simulation domains for both hemispheres in which the electrostatic potential is solved by considering electrodynamics in both hemispheres. The simultaneous occurrence of MSTIDs at the magnetic conjugate stations has clearly been reproduced when the F-region neutral wind satisfies the unstable condition in both hemispheres and a sporadic-E layer is given only at the Northern (summer) Hemisphere. Even if the unstable condition is satisfied in the summer hemisphere, an unfavorable F-region neutral wind in the winter hemisphere largely suppresses the growth of MSTIDs in both hemispheres.     

Interaction mechanisms of shock waves with the boundary layer and wakes in a highly-loaded NGV using hybrid RANS/LES

Accurate predictions of Shock Waves and Boundary Layer Interaction (SWBLI) and strong Shock Waves and Wake Vortices Interaction (SWWVI) in a highly-loaded turbine propose challenges to the currently widely used Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model. In this work, the SWBLI and the SWWVI in a highly-loaded Nozzle Guide Vane (NGV) are studied using a hybrid RANS/LES strategy. The Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) budget and the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) method are used to analyze flow mechanisms. Results show that this hybrid RANS/LES method can obtain detailed flow structures for flow mechanisms analysis. Strong shock waves induce boundary layer separation, while the presence of a separation bubble can in turn lead to a Mach reflection phenomenon. The shock waves cause trailing-edge vortices to break clearly, and the wakes, in turn, can change the shocks intensity and direction. Furthermore, the Entropy Generation Rate (EGR) is used to analyze the irreversible loss. It turns out that the SWWVI can reduce the flow field loss. There are several weak shock waves in the NGV flow field, which can increase the irreversible loss. This work offers flow mechanisms analysis and presents the EGR distribution in SWBLI and SWWVI areas in a transonic turbine blade.     

Boundary condition modelling and identification for cantilever-like structures using natural frequencies

The actual boundary conditions of cantilever-like structures might be non-ideally clamped in engineering practice, and they can also vary with time due to damage or aging. Precise modelling of boundary conditions, in which both the boundary stiffness and the boundary mass should be modelled correctly, might be one of the most significant aspects in dynamic analysis and testing for such structures. However, only the boundary stiffness was considered in the most existing methods. In this paper, a boundary condition modelling and identification method for cantilever-like structures is proposed to precisely model both the boundary stiffness and the boundary mass using sensitivity analysis of natural frequencies. The boundary conditions of a cantilever-like structure can be parameterized by constant mass, constant rotational inertia,constant translational stiffness, and constant rotational stiffness. The relationship between natural frequencies and boundary parameters is deduced according to the vibration equation for the lateral vibration of a non-uniform beam. Then, an iterative identification formulation is established using the sensitivity analysis of natural frequencies with respect to the boundary parameters. The regularization technique is also used to solve the potential ill-posed problem in the identification procedure.Numerical simulations and experiments are performed to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method. Results show that the proposed method can be utilized to precisely model the boundary parameters of a cantilever-like structure.

运输类飞机高升力构型数值模拟研究

高升力装置对大多数运输机的大小、吨位、经济性及安全性都有重要的影响。由于复杂的流动机理、几何外形、支撑机构及驱动系统之间的矛盾关系,导致高升力系统的设计周期很长并且很大程度上依赖于试验[1]。然而,随着计算机软件和硬件的迅速发展,近几年的工程设计中N-S方程应用日趋广泛。在空气动力学设计领域,计算机辅助设计手段已经逐步替代了过去的经验设计手段,并且国内飞机设计单位的科研人员也开始花费越来越多的时间应用流体仿真软件来达到设计目标,而不是像过去那样完全依赖试验结果去设计和分析飞机气动力特性,高升力装置设计也是如此。本文着重对著名的MSES软件和CFX软件在高升力装置模拟中的工程应用进行探索,并和风洞试验结果进行比较,初步研究了高升力装置数值模拟在飞机设计工程应用中存在的一些问题。

MEMS惯性器件低应力封装过渡层研究

封装应力是影响MEMS惯性器件输出性能的主要因素之一，封装应力是由于封装过程中封装对象间材料热特性不匹配所引起的。封装应力除了受封装对象本身的材料性能影响外，还与芯片及基底间的过渡层形式有关。不同的过渡层形式不仅会影响封装应力的峰值，还会对应力的分布情况产生影响。为了研究不同形式的过渡层对三层结构MEMS惯性器件芯片封装应力的影响，首先利用COMSOL有限元仿真分析软件简要地分析了不同材料参数对封装应力的影响，并进一步研究了常见封装形式以及不同封装结构的应力分布规律。结果表明，不同的粘接材料、封装形式和封装结构都会引起封装应力的变化。
