Modified energy cascade model adapted for a multicrop Lunar greenhouse prototype

Models are required to accurately predict mass and energy balances in a bioregenerative life support system. A modified energy cascade model was used to predict outputs of a multi-crop (tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce and strawberries) Lunar greenhouse prototype. The model performance was evaluated against measured data obtained from several system closure experiments. The model predictions corresponded well to those obtained from experimental measurements for the overall system closure test period (five months), especially for biomass produced (0.7% underestimated), water consumption (0.3% overestimated) and condensate production (0.5% overestimated). However, the model was less accurate when the results were compared with data obtained from a shorter experimental time period, with 31%, 48% and 51% error for biomass uptake, water consumption, and condensate production, respectively, which were obtained under more complex crop production patterns (e.g. tall tomato plants covering part of the lettuce production zones). These results, together with a model sensitivity analysis highlighted the necessity of periodic characterization of the environmental parameters (e.g. light levels, air leakage) in the Lunar greenhouse.     

毫米级平面叶栅的PSP测量

建立了一种新型的非接触式压敏涂料（Pressure Sensitive Paint,PSP）测压系统,设计了一套可拆卸式毫米级平面叶栅实验段,首次应用PSP测压技术测量了有／无叶尖间隙毫米级叶栅叶背表面静压分布。结果表明：由于存在叶尖间隙,叶盆处高压气体通过间隙泄漏流入叶背,使叶背叶尖处压力明显大于叶根处;与无叶尖间隙相比,有间隙时泄漏对叶背表面压力的影响约占叶高1／3,叶背底端受泄漏的影响较小。     

内并联式TBCC进气道模态转换过程流动特性分析

针对组合动力(TBCC)进气道模态转换过程中出现的非定常气动现象,采用稳态/非稳态数值模拟方法对相关流动特性及其影响因素与流动机理开展了研究。结果表明：由涡轮发动机工作状态向冲压发动机工作模态转换过程中,进气道内出现结尾激波沿流向前后振荡现象,振荡频率约为130Hz;当冲压流道反压引起的激波未前传至模态转换分流板前时,冲压发动机工作状态对结尾激波振荡不产生影响。在相同的发动机工作状态下,随着模态转换速度的增加,结尾激波振荡频率逐渐增大。文中研究的进气道内结尾激波振荡现象可通过亚声速管道内波的传播理论进行解释和分析。

基于单循环方法的涡轮叶片可靠性及多学科设计优化

为了得到适用于涡轮叶片复杂结构并同时考虑可靠性的多学科设计优化方法,将基于单循环方法的可靠性分析（SLBRA）与并行子空间设计优化方法 （CSSO）相结合,提出了一种基于可靠性的多学科设计优化（RBMDO）方法。在优化过程中使用Kriging近似模型并不断提高模型精度。该方法在计算最可能失效点（MPP）的过程中避免了优化迭代,提高了计算效率。以涡轮叶片的设计优化为例,对该方法进行了验证并与传统双循环方法进行了对比。结果表明,优化结果满足可靠性的要求,与双循环方法相比优化效率明显提高,证明了该方法在工程应用中的可行性和有效性。     

Normalized ionization yield function for various nuclei obtained with full Monte Carlo simulations

Several recent results important for production of ion pairs in the Earth atmosphere by various primary cosmic ray nuclei are presented. The direct ionization by various primary cosmic ray nuclei is explicitly obtained. The longitudinal profile of atmospheric cascades is sensitive to the energy and mass (charge) of the primary particle. In this study different cosmic ray nuclei are considered as primaries, namely Helium, Oxygen and Iron nuclei. The cosmic ray induced ionization is obtained on the basis of CORSIKA 6.52 code simulations using FLUKA 2006 and QGSJET II hadronic interaction models. The energy of the primary particles is normalized to GeV per nucleon. In addition, the ionization yield function Y is normalized as ion pair production per nucleon. The obtained ionization yield functions Y for various primaries are compared. The presented results and their application are discussed.     

Ionization effect of solar protons in the Earth atmosphere – Case study of the 20 January 2005 SEP event

The cosmic ray ground level enhancement on January 20, 2005 is among the largest recorded events in the history of cosmic ray measurements. The solar protons of MeV energies cause an excess of ionization in the atmosphere, specifically over polar caps following major solar disturbances. The ionization effect in the Earth atmosphere is obtained for various latitudes on the basis of solar proton energy spectra, reconstructed from GOES 11 measurements and subsequent full Monte Carlo simulation of cosmic ray induced atmospheric cascade. The estimation of ionization rates is based on a numerical model for cosmic ray induced ionization. The evolution of atmospheric cascade is performed with the CORSIKA 6.52 code using FLUKA 2006b and QGSJET II hadron interaction models. The atmospheric ion rate ionization is explicitly obtained for 40°N, 60°N and 80°N latitudes. The time evolution of obtained ion rates is presented. It is demonstrated that ionization effect is negative for 40°N and small for 60°N, because of accompanying Forbush decrease. The ionization effect is significant only in sub-polar and polar atmosphere during the major ground level enhancement of 20 January 2005.     

尾缘喷气方式对涡轮叶栅气动性能的影响

以某涡轮叶栅为研究对象,采用试验和数值模拟相结合的方式研究了涡轮叶片不同喷气结构对叶栅性能的影响。对半开缝和对开缝两种尾缘冷气喷射的研究表明:当冷气流量比较小时,有一个总压损失随冷气量增大先增加后减小的趋势:当冷气量较大时,冷气造成的总压损失随冷气增大而减小。在相同条件下,半开缝叶栅出口的总压损失系数小于对开缝叶栅出口的总压损失系数。叶栅出口平均气流角随着喷气比的增大呈减小的趋势,但变化范围很小。     

压气机线性振荡叶栅气弹试验研究（二）：叶尖间隙的影响

 为了加强对叶轮机三维气动弹性机理的理解,为数值模拟方法提供试验验证数据,开展了压气机线性叶栅气动弹性试验研究。本研究分为2个部分,第1部分研究压气机线性振荡叶栅的气弹稳定性,本文为第2部分,重点辨别叶尖间隙对压气机叶片气弹稳定性的影响。试验结果表明随着叶尖间隙的增加,间隙流对振动叶片有失稳影响,其影响范围几乎遍及整个叶高,这与非定常气动的瞬时径向相互作用的结论是一致的。这种失稳效应与叶片间相位角对叶栅气弹稳定性的影响不耦合。间隙流在叶栅稳定性最差时影响最显著。详细的非定常压力试验结果表明,随着叶尖间隙的增加,叶片表面非定常压力幅值减小区域与间隙流造成的卸载区域相对应。由试验结果可以推断,不考虑叶尖间隙的数值模型可能会给出过稳定的叶片颤振预测。
