Intermittency of solar wind density fluctuations and its relation to sharp density changes

The paper presents the study of turbulent properties of the solar wind plasma, namely, the intermittency of fluctuations of the solar wind ion flux in the earlier unexplored region of comparatively high frequencies (0.01–1 Hz). Special attention is given to a comparison of intermittency for solar wind observation intervals containing sharp (shorter than 10 min) and high-amplitude (greater than 20%) changes of the ion flux to intervals without such changes. The solar wind observation intervals containing sharp changes of the flux are found to be essentially more intermittent than the intervals of quiet solar wind. Such a comparison allows one to reveal the fundamental difference in turbulent properties of the solar wind depending on the presence or absence of sharp boundaries in plasma structures.     

Spaceflight results in increase of thick filament but not thin filament proteins in the paramyosin mutant of Caenorhabditis elegans

We have investigated the effect of microgravity during spaceflight on body-wall muscle fiber size and muscle proteins in the paramyosin mutant of Caenorhabditis elegans. Both mutant and wild-type strains were subjected to 10 days of microgravity during spaceflight and compared to ground control groups. No significant change in muscle fiber size or quantity of the protein was observed in wild-type worms; where as atrophy of body-wall muscle and an increase in thick filament proteins were observed in the paramyosin mutant unc-15(e73) animals after spaceflight. We conclude that the mutant with abnormal muscle responded to microgravity by increasing the total amount of muscle protein in order to compensate for the loss of muscle function.

本文针对模型参数大范围变化的反舰导弹控制问题，将变结构控制方法作了成功的应用。通过在滑动模态曲面附近引入切换区，使抖动现象削弱；在控制受限情况下，改变滑动误差反馈增益，使系统具有很快的收敛速度。该方法应用于某型反舰导弹控制，仿真结果证明系统能够适应大范围参数变，并具有良好的动态性能和强鲁棒性。     

Launch cost reduction by the reuse of the core stage of Ariane 5

The high cost of launching payloads into Earth orbit is a main limiting factor on the development of space. In order to reduce the high cost of launch, reuse of (parts of) the launch vehicle is needed. This study analyses the possibilities of recovering and reusing the core stage of Ariane 5. Recovery of the core stage sets demands on re-entry trajectory, attitude, stability, thermal protection, structural strength, terminal deceleration, salt water protection, recovery and refurbishment. All these subject areas require solutions to their individual problems. Added subsystems to the stage are defined and their mass is determined. These masses are used to determine the financial feasibility of the recovery concept, by weighing the payload demise and operational cost against the gains of reduced production cost. It is concluded that the recovery is technologically feasible, using a detachable ablative heat shield on the nose of the stage and a stabilisation device (an inflatable drag cone), a parachute system and an engine enclosure device. Total mass of these systems is 1320 kg, with financial savings amounting to $8.5 million per flight.     

一种利用分离区自身能量控制分离的方法

本文用实验方法探讨了非定常扰动对前台阶湍流分离的影响。研究表明采用钢丝为非定常扰源,则不用外加机械能就可达到控制分离的目的。该方法可行的关键在于将钢丝置于分离点后的一个邻域内,在该邻域所特有的自然非稳定涡结构的作用下,钢丝会产生共振,这种共振效应使下泻涡得以强化并形成大尺度的凝聚结构,进而给分离包的低能区补充了能量,使分离包大大缩短。

非平面机翼最小诱阻的法洗分布

关于机翼最小诱阻的下洗分布问题,很早就有人进行过研究。在升力约束条件下,Munk证明具有最小诱阻的机翼展向下洗分布为一常数。对于平面机翼在升力和翼根弯矩约束条件下,Jones证明具有最小诱阻的展向下洗为线性分布。目前使用的飞机机翼,通常都有上反角,且有的机翼上反角沿展向还有变化(例如带翼梢小翼的机翼)。对于这样的非平面机翼,在升力和翼根弯矩约束条件下,其最小诱阻的展向法洗分布规律尚不清楚,这就是本文所要研究的内容。
