An ECR-PCR rule for fusion of evidences defined on a non-exclusive framework of discernment

In the research of uncertain information processing, Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) provides a framework for dealing with uncertain information, where evidence is defined on a Frame of Discernment (FOD) consisting of mutually exclusive elements. However, the requirement of exclusiveness on FOD sometimes is not satisfied, as shown in Dezert-Smarandache Theory(DSmT), a derivative of DST. In DSmT, the non-exclusiveness is expressed by propositions’ intersection and the fusion of evidence is realized through a Proportional Conflict Redistribution (PCR) rule. In order to handle non-exclusive FODs, a new framework called D Number Theory (DNT) has been proposed recently, which quantifies the non-exclusive degree between propositions different from DSmT. In previous studies, an Exclusive Conflict Redistribution (ECR) rule has been designed in DNT to implement the fusion of evidence defined on a non-exclusive FOD, but there are some deficiencies in the ECR rule. In this paper, a new rule called ECR-PCR rule is proposed by combining the ECR and PCR rules to better implement the fusion of evidence defined on a non-exclusive FOD. Within the proposed rule, the definition of conflict utilizes the idea of ECR’s exclusive conflict, and the disposal of conflict is following the idea of PCR’s proportional redistribution. Properties of the ECR-PCR rule are presented. The effectiveness of the proposed new rule is verified through numerical examples and applications, in comparison with other fusion methods.     

Unsteady analysis of jet impingement under vibration conditions

The vibration of thermodynamic machinery will affect its cooling system. In this research, a high-resolution simulation of jet impingement was performed to quantify the unsteady turbulent convection under vibration conditions. A newly developed Self-Adaptive Turbulence Eddy Simulation(SATES) method was used. The Reynolds number was Re = 23000, the jet-towall distance was fixed at H/D = 2, and the vibrating frequency of the impinging wall f varied from 0 to 200 Hz. Compared with the static wall c...

Mg粉/CO₂粉末发动机是火星探测中较为理想的原位资源利用方案，为了掌握Mg/CO₂粉末发动机稳定点火燃烧特性，在考虑氧化层厚度对Mg颗粒熄火影响的基础上，基于涡耗散/有限速率模型建立了点火燃烧模型，并应用数值计算方法研究了Mg粉颗粒粒径（5μm， 10μm， 15μm， 20μm和25μm）、入口预混气流雷诺数（1500， 2000， 2500， 3000和3500）和CO₂/Mg氧燃比（0.5， 1， 1.5， 2和2.5）对Mg粉/CO₂动态点火燃烧的影响。计算结果表明：雷诺数和氧燃比恒定时，随着粒径从5μm增加到10μm，平均温度升高，平均点火时间延长，燃烧效率增加；随着粒径从10μm增加到25μm，平均温度降低，平均点火时间延长，燃烧效率减少。粒径和氧燃比恒定时，平均温度随雷诺数增加而下降；平均点火时间和燃烧效率随雷诺数增加基本不变。粒径和雷诺数恒定，随着氧燃比从0.5增大到1.5，平均温度升高；随着氧燃比从1.5增大到2.5，平均温度下降；平均点火时间和燃烧效率随氧燃比增大基本不变。     

A numerical study of segmented cooling-stream injection in supersonic film cooling

The present study proposes a segmented cooling-stream injection structure based on a certain coolant mass flow rate, and numerically investigates the effect of segmented cooling-stream injection on supersonic film cooling. The results indicate that without shock-wave impingement and with helium as the coolant, segmented cooling-stream injection can reduce the mixing between the mainstream and the cooling stream to produce better cooling performance than single injection, especially at larger coo...     

Multi-scale nature of non-blade-order propagating flow disturbances in axial compressors

Non-blade-order flow disturbances, also referred to as pre-stall disturbances or tip flow unsteadiness, are closely related with compressor instabilities. The present work provides a comprehensive investigation on multi-scale nature of non-blade-order disturbances and the underlying flow physics in axial compressors. By applying full-annulus Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) simulations, along with space–time correlation and spatial Fourier decomposition, to the disturbed pressure, the propagating feature of the non-blade-order disturbances is obtained. Further, a bridge between non-blade-order disturbances and the evolution of unsteady vortex has been set up. The results show that non-blade-order disturbances, featured as short-length-scale (35 modes across annulus), first appear as the occurrence of tip leakage vortex fluctuation, while the compressor still operates far from stall. Leading-edge radial vortex appears at near stall condition, and its movement induces a circumferential propagating disturbance overlaying on the one induced by oscillating tip leakage vortex. The interaction of the short-scale disturbances with a low-amplitude long-scale (of circumference) disturbance is observed, which results in disturbances with multiple scales of consecutive spatial modes, along with multiple frequency peaks in spectra. The compressor falls into stall as the circumferential nonuniform scattering of the leading-edge vortexes occurs. The densely- and sparsely-scattered leading-edge radial vortexes induce a high-amplitude long-scale (of circumference) disturbance, i.e. stall disturbance.     

Statistical analysis of the occurrence rate of geomagnetic storms during solar cycles 20–24

This study examines the occurrences rate of geomagnetic storms during the solar cycles (SCs) 20–24. It also investigates the solar sources at SCs 23 and 24. The Disturbed storm time (Dst) and Sunspot Number (SSN) data were used in the study. The study establishes that the magnitude of the rate of occurrences of geomagnetic storms is higher (lower) at the descending phases (minimum phases) of solar cycle. It as well reveals that severe and extreme geomagnetic storms (Dst < -250 nT) seldom occur at low solar activity but at very high solar activity and are mostly associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) when occurred. Storms caused by CME + CH-HSSW are more prominent during the descending phase than any other phase of the solar cycle. Solar minimum features more CH-HSSW- associated storms than any other phase. It was also revealed that all high intensity geomagnetic storms (strong, severe and extreme) are mostly associated with CMEs. However, CH-HSSW can occasionally generate strong storms during solar minimum. The results have proven that CMEs are the leading cause of geomagnetic storms at the ascending, maximum and the descending phases of the cycles 23 and 24 followed by CME + CH-HSSW. The results from this study indicate that the rate of occurrence of geomagnetic storms could be predicted in SC phases.

Lift performance enhancement for flapping airfoils by considering surging motion

The flapping motion has a great impact on the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings. In this paper, a surging motion is added to an airfoil performing pitching-plunging combined motion to figure out how it influences the lift performance and flow pattern of flapping airfoils. Firstly, the numerical methods are validated by a NACA0012 airfoil pitching case and a NACA0012 airfoil plunging case. Then, the E377m airfoil which has typical geometric characteristics of the bird-like airfoil is selected as the calculation model to study how phase differences φ₁ between surging motion and plunging motion affect the aerodynamic performance of flapping airfoils. The results show that the airfoil with surging motion has comprehensively better lift performance and thrust performance than the airfoil without surging motion when 15°< φ₁ < 90°. It is demonstrated that surging motion has a powerful ability to improve the aerodynamic performance of flapping airfoil by adjusting φ₁. Finally, to further explore how flapping airfoil improves lift performance by considering surging motion, the flapping motions of E377m airfoil with the highest lift coefficient and lift efficiency are obtained through trajectory optimization. The surging motion is removed in the highest lift case and highest lift efficiency case respectively, and the mechanism that surging motion adjusts the aerodynamic force is analyzed in detail by comparing the vortex structure and kinematic parameters. The results of this paper help reveal the aerodynamic mechanism of bird flight and guide the design of Flapping wing Micro Air Vehicles (FMAV).
