SEP events and multi-spacecraft observations: Constraints on theory

Fifteen solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been analyzed using proton flux data recorded by the Helios 1, Helios 2, and IMP 8 spacecraft in the energy range ∼4–40 MeV during 1974–1982. For each of the events at least two of the spacecraft have their nominal magnetic footpoint within 20° in heliocentric longitude from each other. The SEP events are sub-grouped as a function of their heliocentric longitudinal separation and heliocentric radial distance from the SEP associated solar flare and several case studies are presented in this paper. Main results concerning their usage in estimating the SEP radial dependence are given. Moreover, we investigate the behavior of the third not connected spacecraft in order to study the dependence of the proton flux as a function of flare location. It is found that the contribution of the longitudinal gradient in determining variations in the SEP proton flux is particularly relevant for spacecraft having their magnetic connection footpoint separated from the flare between 30° and 50°.     

Charged particles on the Earth–Jupiter–Europa spacecraft trajectory

Charged particle fluxes on the trajectory of future Russian space research mission to Jupiter and its satellite Europa are investigated. The existing experimental data and models of Jupiter’s main magnetic field and radiation belts are summarized. Preliminary results of computations of energetic particle fluxes and radiation doses for each stage of the flight are given. Special attention is paid to estimation of radiation conditions in Europa’s orbit and on its surface; influence of the satellite on spatial distribution of the fluxes of charged particles of various energies is studied.     

Ionospheric heating due to solar flares as measured by SROSS-C2 satellite

The data on thermal fluctuations of the topside ionosphere have been measured by Retarding Potential Analyser (RPA) payload aboard the SROSS-C2 satellite over the Indian region for half of the solar cycle (1995–2000). The data on solar flare has been obtained from National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) Boulder, Colorado (USA) and other solar indices (solar radio flux and sunspot number) were download from NGDC website. The ionospheric electron and ion temperatures show a consistent enhancement during the solar flares. The enhancement in the electron temperature is 28–92% and for ion temperature it is 18–39% compared to the normal day’s average temperature. The enhancement of ionospheric temperatures due to solar flares is correlated with the variation of sunspot and solar radio flux (F10.7cm). All the events studied in the present paper fall in the category of subflare with almost same intensity. The ionospheric electron and ion temperatures enhancement have been compared with the IRI model values.

关于旋涡定义的思考

针对旋涡定义这个长期未解决的难题,在分析历史上提出的几种思路的基础上,本文提出:定义旋涡的总目标,应当体现其管状运动形态,并与其作为流体运动肌腱的动力学功能有机结合;该定义应能以统一的方式覆盖经典涡动力学业已成熟的结果,并且指引对湍流中复杂涡状结构及其相互作用的识别。据此,本文根据涡量场演化的已知规律,提出了旋涡的一个动力学定义,作为继续深化讨论的参考。同时提出,人们针对湍流结构研究构造的各种涡判据,虽然对湍流涡状结构的可视化起了重要作用,但因其难以遵循管式涡量场的因果演化而无法取代完备的涡定义。相比之下,近十年来形成的涡量面理论,有望在未来发展中使旋涡的定义和检验问题回归涡量动力学的自然规律。     

高速热流下薄壁结构声振响应分析及寿命预估

现代飞行器飞行过程中发动机薄壁结构受高速热流冲击面临着极为严酷的工作环境,使结构产生大挠度动力学响应以及疲劳损伤破坏现象。为获取难以实测的热流冲击下结构声振响应规律及疲劳破坏时间,采用耦合有限元/边界元的方法进行数值模拟分析与热声疲劳试验相结合的方法,根据载荷效果构建与试验件尺寸完全一致的数值仿真模型,对热声载荷下薄壁结构进行仿真计算。采用功率谱密度（PSD）法分析频率响应峰值随声载荷变化规律,并通过改进的雨流计数法对声振响应数据进行统计分析,得到疲劳寿命时间。并对比声振响应仿真计算结果与试验结果发现误差小于2%,验证了数值仿真的可靠性。在此基础上,对高速热流冲击作用下薄壁结构进行数值仿真分析,通过分析频率响应峰值随温度和流速的变化规律获取不同温度各流速下结构声振响应及疲劳寿命变化规律,并阐述造成这种变化的原因。本文完成的工作可对高速热流环境下薄壁结构响应分析和寿命预估提供参考依据。     

旋转状态边界层速度场及温度场特性实验

针对涡轮转子叶片内冷技术,使用TR-PIV(time resolved particle image velocimetry)技术与热线技术同步原位测量了壁面加热条件下旋转通道内边界层速度场和温度场特性。结果显示:旋转数大于0.48时前缘面附近出现了回流现象,并从受力分析的角度给出了解释;回流区一般出现于流场下游、较大密度比、较高旋转数下,可以利用回流区的影响达到增强前缘面换热的目的;得到了旋转条件下无量纲温度型、温度脉动量和努塞尔数的变化规律,可以看出湍流边界层内部的温度场分布在旋转效应的影响下产生了强烈的不对称性,与静止条件下的标准规律相比会产生一定的偏差。
