一种用于解决粒子滤波粒子退化现象的重要性重采样算法的研究

粒子滤波通过蒙特卡罗模拟来实现递推贝叶斯估计,在非线性非高斯系统中体现出良好的特性;但粒子滤波存在粒子退化现象的缺陷,针对这一问题,提出一种新的重采样算法,即分区重采样算法,其主要思想是根据多项式重采样与分层重采样算法的特点,把随机数区间划分成若干个区,每个区内的随机数任意排列,而区与区之间按升序排列。与目前常用的其他重采样算法相比,该方法提高了粒子滤波的平均性能,仿真实验验证了该算法的有效性和实用性。     

Effect of scavenge port angles on flow distribution and performance of swirl-loop scavenging in 2-stroke aircraft diesel engine

Swirl-Loop Scavenging (SLS) improves the performance of 2-stroke aircraft diesel engine because the involved swirl may not only benefit the scavenging process, but also facilitate the fuel atomization and combustion. The arrangement of scavenge port angles greatly influences in-cylinder flow distribution and swirl intensity, as well as the performance of the SLS engine. However, the mechanism of the effect and visualization experiment are rarely mentioned in the literature. To further investigate the SLS, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiment and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation are adopted to obtain its swirl distribution characteristics, and the effect of port angles on scavenging performance is discussed based on engine fired cycle simulation. The results illustrate that Reynolds Stress Turbulence model is accurate enough for in-cylinder flow simulation. Tangential and axial velocity distribution of the flow, as well as the scavenging performance, are mainly determined by geometric scavenge port angles α_geom and β_geom. For reinforcement of scavenging on cross-sections and meridian planes, α_geom value of 27° and β_geom value of 60° are preferred, under which the scavenging efficiency reaches as high as 73.7%. Excessive swirl intensity has a negative effect on SLS performance, which should be controlled to a proper extent.     

关于用来确定机构速度瞬心的“三心定理”的直接证明及若干注记

本文根据三构件中两构件相对于第三构件的三种运动情况,分别讨论了机构中三构件间速度瞬心的位置关系。当构件1和2相对构件3分别以不同的角速度绕瞬心P_(13)和P_(23)转动时,则构件1和2的瞬心P_(12)位于瞬心P_(13)和P_(23)的连线上。对这一结论的讨论方法能够代替通常用于证明“三心定理”的反证法。当构件1和2相对构件3以相同的角速度分别绕瞬心P_(13)和P_(23)转动时,则瞬心P_(12)应位于瞬心P_(13)和P_(23)连线的平行线上无穷远处。当构件1和2相对构件3分别是绕瞬心P_(13)的转动和以速度V_(23)作平动时,则瞬心P_(12)位于过瞬心P_(13)且垂直于速度V_(23)的直线上。当构件1和2相对构件3都作平动时,则构件1和2之间以速度V_(12)作相对平动,其瞬心P_(12)位于V_(12)的垂线上无穷远处。文中给出了两个应用实例。     

欧洲计算流体力学——个人观点

介绍了70年代初到20世纪末欧洲科学家对CFD发展的主要贡献,并重点关注了对国际流体力学数值方法会议(ICNMFD)和国际计算力学学术会议(ISCFD)的成功举办具有重大贡献的科学家.ICNMFD始于1969年(新西伯利亚),由参与了美国和苏联太空竞赛的两国科学家联合创办,而ISCFD则作为ICNMFD在亚太地区的同类会议初创于1995年(东京).由Oshima教授和本人提议,得益于上述两个会议全体科学委员会成员的共同努力,ICNMFD和ISCFD自2000年开始,合并成为每两年举办一次的国际计算流体力学会议(ICCFD).绝大部分本文讨论所涉及的学者通常都在受邀进行大会报告后,成为了前述三大国际会议中的一个或多个科学委员会的成员.作者对文中讨论所涉及的研究人员的圈定负有全权责任,上述人员的选择更多地基于应用而非理论计算流体力学,因此尚存在不完善之处.此外由于文中所讨论的学者大都是作者在40多年计算流体力学研究生涯中的私交好友,因此并没有将年轻一代的科学家考虑进来,但这并非由于他们的贡献不重要.另外值得注意的是欧洲的计算流体力学同美国的计算流体力学有非常紧密的联系,本文讨论所涉及的研究学者有些最早从欧洲开始涉足计算流体力学而现在则生活和工作于美国(例如Glowinski,Roe,Van Leer等人),而有些则是在美国取得了博士学位(例如Launder,Napolitano),他们都同美国的科学家进行过合作,因此很难清晰地对欧洲和美国的计算流体力学进行界定.对那些现已移居美国的欧洲科学家们,本文优先考虑了他们移居之前的贡献.最后但并非是最不重要的,作者通过电子邮件一一联系了文中所涉及的科学家,希望他们本人能够给出其自身贡献的评价草稿,从而帮助作者以最权威的视角在文中相应章节对其工作进行评述.本文向提供自述评价的诸位致以谢意,同时也希望其他同仁能够对本人不恰当的擅自评述给予谅解.

A direct position determination method with combined TDOA and FDOA based on particle filter

The localization of a stationary transmitter using moving receivers is considered. The original Direct Position Determination (DPD) methods, with combined Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA), do not perform well under low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), and worse still, the computation cost is difficult to accept when the computational capabilities are limited. To get better positioning performance, we present a new DPD algorithm that proves to be more computationally efficient and more precise for weak signals than the conventional approach. The algorithm partitions the signal received with the same receiver into multiple non-overlapping short-time signal segments, and then uses the TDOA, the FDOA and the coherency among the short-time signals to locate the target. The fast maximum likelihood estimation, one iterative method based on particle filter, is designed to solve the problem of high computation load. A secondary but important result is a derivation of closed-form expressions of the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). The simulation results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper outperforms the traditional DPD algorithms with more accurate results and higher computational efficiency, and especially at low SNR, it is more close to the CRLB.     

Saw-tooth substorms: Inconsistency of repetitive bay-like magnetic disturbances with behavior of aurora

The relationships between the magnetic disturbance onsets, aurora dynamics and particles injections at the geostationary orbit have been analyzed in detail for 25 sawtooth substorms. It is shown that inconsistency between the above signatures of the substorms onset is typical of the powerful sawtooth substorms, unlike the isolated (“classical”) magnetospheric substorms. The distinguishing feature of the aurora in case of saw-tooth substorms is permanently high level of auroral activity irrespective of the magnetic disturbance onsets and the double oval structure of the aurora display. The close relationship between the aurora behavior and the particle injections at geostationary orbit is also broken. The conclusion is made, that the classical concept of the substorm development, put forward by Akasofu (1964) for isolated substorms, is not workable in cases of the sawtooth disturbances, when the powerful solar wind energy pumping into the magnetosphere provides a permanent powerful aurora particle precipitation into the auroral zone.     

Diffusive shock acceleration at interplanetary perpendicular shock waves: Influence of the large scale structure of turbulence on the maximum particle energy

We calculate the maximum energy that a particle can obtain at perpendicular interplanetary shock waves by the mechanism of diffusive shock acceleration. The influence of the energy range spectral index of the two-dimensional modes of the interplanetary turbulence is explored. We show that changes in this parameter lead to energies that differ in at least one order of magnitude. Therefore, the large scale structure of the turbulence is a key input if the maximum particle energy is calculated.
