A Thermodynamic Approach to the Magnetospheric Complexity: The Role of Fluctuations

Recent studies evidenced that the magnetotail dynamics looks like the one of an avalanching system. This fact has been related with a near criticality dynamics and modelled by singular diffusion and transport equations. Here, we discuss some features of the Earth’s magnetotail dynamics using a thermodynamic approach. In detail we discuss the role played by fluctuations in singular diffusion and relaxation processes from a non-equilibrium thermodynamics point of view. Moreover, the emergence of non-Gaussian statistics is discussed in the framework of the thermodynamics of composite systems.

The Changing Face of Titan’s Haze: Is it all Dynamics?

Titan’ atmosphere shows some similarities with that of the Earth, in terms of composition and surface pressure. Also, its seasonal cycle is similar, as Titan’ obliquity is about 27^°(23^°,5 for the Earth), although it is about 30 times as long. Titan’ haze exhibits an albedo contrast (NSA for North-South Asymmetry) that is changing seasonally. From the analysis of Voyager and Hubble Space Telescope data, we learned that at short visible wavelengths, the albedo of the winter hemisphere is lower by 10-20% than that of the summer hemisphere. This asymmetry peaks at 450 nm and reaches maximum amplitude around Titan’ equinoxes. It reverses in about five years, faster than a season which spans seven years. At longer wavelengths, longward of 700 nm, the asymmetry is inverted. The NSA reversal process in the red and in the UV seems to lead the reversal in the blue by 1 or 2 years. No valid explanation exists for this lag, at least in the red. The results from a recent model which couples atmospheric dynamics, haze microphysics and transport, as well as photochemistry, show that the NSA and its seasonal changes can be explained by an accumulation of haze particles at the winter pole. This is due to the pole-to-pole Hadley circulation pattern that is present during most of Titan’ year and rapidly disrupts at the time of the equinoxes. This model can also explain the observed cooler stratospheric temperatures and higher abundances of heavy hydrocarbons and nitriles in the winter polar region. In addition, it provides a mechanism for the formation of a detached haze layer around 300–400 km altitude, as well as the existence of a polar hood. Thus, it appears that the latitudinal contrasts we observe on Titan are conveniently tracing for us the dynamical behavior of its atmosphere.

复杂动力学模型下星载天线跟瞄控制技术研究

针对星载天线动力学复杂这一问题,从天线系统刚柔耦合动力学建模、指向跟踪控制以及振动抑制等方面研究了柔性星载运动部件的指向控制方法。首先,通过描述系统几何拓扑关系建立系统运动学方程,从而简化动力学建模过程;之后,利用假设模态法,对天线反射面挠性进行建模;最后,将拉格朗日方程与挠性关节模型相结合,从而建立了星载天线非线性刚柔耦合动力学模型。在以上复杂动力学建模的基础上,采用分层设计的思路进行了控制策略设计：先运用基于计算力矩法的滑模控制器得到不考虑挠性关节的耦合控制律,从而保证卫星基体的稳定性以及天线挠性反射面的振动抑制;再使用反步法对挠性关节进行控制,实现对天线反射面的指向精度控制。最后,讨论了动力学参数不确定性对系统跟踪指向控制的影响并采用数学仿真的方式验证了相关动力学模型与控制算法。仿真结果表明该方法能较好地实现对星载天线的指向跟踪控制以及振动抑制,提高星载天线的动态指向精度。

Heading control strategy assessment for coaxial compound helicopters

The coaxial compound helicopter has two possible strategies for heading control: collective differential and rudder deflection. A flight dynamics model is developed to assess the effect of different heading control strategies. This includes the trim characteristics, steady flight performance,controllability, and manoeuvrability. The trim study demonstrates that heading control strategies are less influential on trim results, and the steady flight performance is also not significantly affected by the heading control strategy adopted. The controllability analysis shows although heading bandwidth and phase delay results at various speeds with different heading control strategies are all satisfied, the control derivative of the collective differential decreases as speed increases, and its heading aggressive agility is degraded into Level 3 in high-speed flight. In addition, using collective differential would lead to severe heading-rolling coupling as forward speed increases. On the contrary, the control derivative and aggressive agility of the rudder deflection is improved with forward speed, and there is no evidence of heading-rolling coupling. Finally, the transient turn MissionTask-Element(MTE) is utilized to investigate the heading manoeuvre characteristics in different heading control strategies, which indicates that the collective differential would add the amplitude of control input and the power consumption during this MTE.     

Analysis of the dynamic behavior of structures using the high-rate GNSS-PPP method combined with a wavelet-neural model: Numerical simulation and experimental tests

Recently, the high rate global navigation satellite system-precise point positioning (GNSS-PPP) technique has been used to detect the dynamic behavior of structures. This study aimed to increase the accuracy of the extraction oscillation properties of structural movements based on the high-rate (10?Hz) GNSS-PPP monitoring technique. A developmental model based on the combination of wavelet package transformation (WPT) de-noising and neural network prediction (NN) was proposed to improve the dynamic behavior of structures for GNSS-PPP method. A complicated numerical simulation involving highly noisy data and 13 experimental cases with different loads were utilized to confirm the efficiency of the proposed model design and the monitoring technique in detecting the dynamic behavior of structures. The results revealed that, when combined with the proposed model, GNSS-PPP method can be used to accurately detect the dynamic behavior of engineering structures as an alternative to relative GNSS method.
