航天用时间触发网络系统同步性的故障分析

确定性网络的同步性在航天电子系统中至关重要。为保证确定性网络在发生故障的情况下也能正常地进行时间同步,采用spaceVPX标准中典型的双星拓扑交换结构,配置基于时间触发以太网协议的可容错系统。针对此架构,对使用以太网的航天系统中发生故障的单容错结构进行了仿真,并模拟了几种时间同步协议控制帧异常的情况：协议控制帧包括冷启动帧、冷启动应答帧、集成帧,从故障交换机的端口发送到网络中的一个终端系统后,对于时间触发网络的同步网络所产生的影响。仿真结果表明,故障交换机会逐渐延长处于正常工作的终端系统的启动时间,不利于整个确定网络系统的同步过程,但是,如果设置不同协议控制帧的周期超过一定的数值后,单点故障不会影响双冗余系统的启动时间。     

阵列表面电弧激励控制激波附面层干扰机理

为了获得阵列表面电弧控制激波/附面层干扰不稳定性机理，开展了高频激励和低频激励的实验研究。综合运用高速纹影、动态压力等先进测试手段和分析方法，揭示阵列电弧等离子体激励的热效应和涡效应特性。结合流动显示和壁面动态压力脉动，深度揭示了控制过程。更为关键的，因为高频激励模式下的激励器处于低功耗状态，这样可以提供稳定的控制效果。基于动态压力频谱分析，发现高频激励下低频不稳定性能量的占比降低12.2%。结合纹影显示，获得高频激励下的涡效应主导机制。     

纳秒脉冲滑动弧放电等离子体裂解煤油实验研究

为改善极端条件下航空煤油的点火和燃烧性能,提高煤油活性,本文在大气压氮气环境下利用纳秒脉冲电源产生的滑动弧等离子体进行煤油裂解实验研究,得到了包含活性更高的气态轻质烃和氢气等小分子物质的裂解气。通过改变电源输出脉冲电压的上升沿时间和下降沿时间,得到了裂解气产量、碳氢比以及裂解气中各组分选择性的变化规律,并总结了相关的部分反应路径。实验结果如下：裂解气产量随着上升沿时间的增加而减小,随着下降沿时间的增加而上升,裂解气碳氢比则呈现相反的变化规律；裂解气主要组分中,乙烷选择性最高,在各实验工况下均超过30%；随着上升沿时间和下降沿时间的增加,裂解气中丙烷和丙烯的选择性均降低,氢气的选择性上升；上升沿时间和下降沿时间的变化对裂解效果产生影响的主要原因是改变了反应的路径。实验结果表明,纳秒脉冲滑动弧放电等离子体可以将煤油中的部分大分子烃类转化为气态轻烃和氢气等高活性组分。同时,增加纳秒脉冲电压下降沿时间能够改善滑动弧等离子体的裂解效果,获得更多活性更高的小分子物质。

基于滑动弧的燃烧室头部强化燃烧特性

为了研究基于滑动弧的燃烧室头部强化燃烧效果，探究了燃烧室头部的点火过程以及不同等离子体电源输入功率下的点/熄火边界，利用像增强系统获得了CH*基团的分布云图。实验结果表明：输入功率的增大使得燃烧室的点/熄火边界均得到拓展，与160 W工况相比，输入功率为320 W时，点火边界平均拓宽约17.6%，与未放电相比，输入功率为320 W时，熄火边界平均拓宽约45.3%，滑动弧放电对熄火边界拓宽效果明显；当滑动弧能够点燃来流新鲜混合气时，输入功率的增加使得CH*基团分布向上游移动，当输入功率为320 W时，燃烧火焰驻留在燃烧室头部，当滑动弧激励器仅具有助燃作用时，输入功率的增加使得局部CH*基团辐射强度增强，热释放速率增加。

Development and coupling test of active spacecraft potential control – Next generation (ASPOC-NG)

The active spacecraft potential control (ASPOC) system developed in the 1990s emits positive ions to neutralise the spacecraft potential, such as used in several missions like Geotail, Equator-S, Cluster, Doublestar and MMS. With the experience gained, the next generation of the active spacecraft potential control (ASPOC-NG) instrument has been developed over the last three years. Thereby, three emission technologies were tested including Liquid Metal Ion Source (LMIS), Liquid Metal Electron Source (LMES) and Solid Metal Electron Source (SMES). The development of the emitter module by FOTEC and the corresponding electronics control unit by IWF is presented. Optimisations were carried out with the focus on the reduction of mass and power consumption to comply with the requirements of future scientific missions. Coupling tests of the modules and the electronics control unit were performed including range, accuracy and lifetime tests. Both ASPOC-NG instruments for positive and negative charge compensation and their performance values show excellent results.

An atmosphere-breathing propulsion system using inductively coupled plasma source

CubeSats have attracted more research interest recently due to their lower cost and shorter production time. A promising technology for CubeSat application is atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion, which can capture the atmospheric particles as propulsion propellant to maintain long-term mission at very low Earth orbit. This paper designs an atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion system for a 3 U CubeSat, which consists of an intake device and an electric thruster based on the inductively coupled plasma. The capture performance of intake device is optimized considering both particles capture efficiency and compression ratio. The plasma source is also analyzed by experiment and simulation. Then, the thrust performance is also estimated when taking into account the intake performance. The results show that it is feasible to use atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion technology for CubeSats to compensate for aerodynamic drag at lower Earth orbit.     

Shocks and instabilities in the partially ionised solar atmosphere

The low solar atmosphere is composed of mostly neutral particles, but the importance of the magnetic field for understanding observed dynamics means that interactions between charged and neutral particles play a very important role in controlling the macroscopic fluid motions. As the exchange of momentum between fluids, essential for the neutral fluid to effectively feel the Lorentz force, is through collisional interactions, the relative timescale of these interactions to the dynamic timescale determines whether a single-fluid model or, when the dynamic frequency is higher, the more detailed two-fluid model is the more appropriate. However, as many MHD phenomena fundamentally contain multi-time-scale processes, even large-scale, long-timescale motions can have an important physical contribution from two-fluid processes. In this review we will focus on two-fluid models, looking in detail at two areas where the multi-time-scale nature of the solar atmosphere means that two-fluid physics can easily develop: shock-waves and instabilities. We then connect these ideas to observations attempting to diagnose two-fluid behaviour in the solar atmosphere, suggesting some ways forward to bring observations and simulations closer together.
