以临近空间浮空器载荷舱为应用背景,对复杂热边界条件下含热源的三维封闭方腔内自然对流、表面辐射和导热的耦合问题进行了数值模拟。综合考虑对流换热、长波辐射、太阳辐射等因素的影响,建立了临近空间热环境模型。通过Fluent软件用户自定义函数（UDF）引入外部非定常的辐射-对流耦合热边界条件,对腔内换热特性的昼夜变化进行研究,并分析了腔壁厚度、发射率和导热系数对其的影响。数值结果表明,腔内平均温度昼夜变化很小,约为12.9 K,但温度场分布随太阳方位变化而变化;腔内对流换热较弱,同一时刻最大温差约为71.3 K;腔壁热阻和发射率增加会削弱自然对流的强度。

R141b在矩形微尺度通道中的两相流传热特性

设计搭建水力直径分别为1mm和0.5mm的矩形微尺度通道实验台,研究了以R141b型制冷剂作为工质的两相流沸腾传热特性。实验取热流密度为1～16kW/m2、质量流速为111.1～333.3kg/(m2·s)和质量干度为0～1,分析了三者对平均传热系数的影响,探究影响换热的主导因素。结果表明:热流密度较高时,平均传热系数随热流密度增加而减小,流动换热主要受到沸腾传热的影响;当质量流速较大且热流密度较低时,平均传热系数随热流密度增加而有所增长;热流密度较低时,平均传热系数随质量流速变化明显,热流密度升高到一定值后,质量流速对平均传热系数的影响很小;当质量流速处于111.1～333.3kg/(m2·s)时,平均传热系数随质量干度的增加而减小。      

基于雷诺平均Navier-Stokes方程的表面传热系数计算

采用有限体积法数值求解控制二维绕流的雷诺平均Navier-Stokes(RANS)方程组,计算了光滑和粗糙NACA0012翼型以及圆柱表面的局部表面传热系数.分析了近壁面网格间距、湍流模式和表面粗糙度模型对数值计算结果的影响.结果表明:切应力输运(SST)湍流模型能够区分层流和湍流边界层的对流传热特性,并能预测转捩的发生;采用Spalart-Allmaras(S-A) 扩展模型能够计算粗糙壁面的对流传热系数,但采用忽略转捩函数的S-A模型不能有效计算层流边界层的传热系数.当近壁面网格间距接近10-5量级的黏性子层时,在光滑和粗糙壁面都能得到准确的传热系数分布.结合合适的近壁面网格间距,湍流模式和表面粗糙度模型可以得到与实验数据十分接近的表面传热系数曲线.通过与求解不可压缩RANS方程得到的结果比较后发现,不可压缩RANS方程主要忽略了压缩和黏性耗散效应,这种效应可以通过绝热升温项的形式并入总体热分析.

Recent active thermal management technologies for the development of energy-optimized aerospace vehicles in China

Recently, the development of modern vehicles has brought about aggressive integration and miniaturization of on-board electrical and electronic devices. It will lead to exponential growth in both the overall waste heat and heat flux to be dissipated to maintain the devices within a safe temperature range. However, both the total heat sinks aboard and the cooling capacity of currently utilized thermal control strategy are severely limited, which threatens the lifetime of the on-board equipment and even the entire flight system and shrink the vehicle’s flight time and range. Facing these thermal challenges, the USA proposed the program of “INVENT” to maximize utilities of the available heat sinks and enhance the cooling ability of thermal control strategies. Following the efforts done by the USA researchers, scientists in China fought their ways to develop thermal management technologies for Chinese advanced energy-optimized airplanes and spacecraft. This paper elaborates the available on-board heat sinks and aerospace thermal management systems using both active and passive technologies not confined to the technology in China. Subsequently, active thermal management technologies in China including fuel thermal management system, environment control system, non-fuel liquid cooling strategy are reviewed. At last, space thermal control technologies used in Chinese Space Station and Chang’e-3 and to be used in Chang’e-5 are introduced. Key issues to be solved are also identified, which could facilitate the development of aerospace thermal control techniques across the world.     

Design of nanofluid-cooled heat sink using topology optimization

The paper presented topology optimization of 2D and 3D Nanofluid-Cooled Heat Sink (NCHS). The flow and heat transfer problem in the NCHS was treated as a single-phase nanofluid based convective heat transfer model. The temperature-dependent fluid properties were taken into account in the model due to the strong temperature-dependent features of nanofluids. An average temperature minimum problem was studied subject to the fluid area and energy dissipation constraints by using the density method. In the method, the design variable is updated according to the gradient information obtained by an adjoint based sensitivity analysis process. The effects of the energy dissipation constraint, temperature-dependent fluid properties and nanofluid characteristics on optimal configurations of NCHS were numerically investigated with following conclusions. Firstly, branched flow channels in the optimal configuration increased with the rise of the allowed energy dissipation. Secondly, temperature-dependent fluid properties were significant for obtaining the appropriate optimal results with best cooling performance. Thirdly, heat transfer performances of optimal configurations were enhanced by reducing the nanoparticle diameter or increasing the nanoparticle volume fraction. Fourthly, the optimal configuration for nanofluid had better cooling performance than that for its base fluid.     

Probing the origin of the iron Kα line around stellar and supermassive black holes using X-ray polarimetry

Asymmetric, broad iron lines are a common feature in the X-ray spectra of both X-ray binaries (XRBs) and type-1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). It was suggested that the distortion of the Fe Kα emission results from Doppler and relativistic effects affecting the radiative transfer close to the strong gravitational well of the central compact object: a stellar mass black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) in the case of XRBs, or a super massive black hole (SMBH) in the case of AGN. However, alternative approaches based on reprocessing and transmission of radiation through surrounding media also attempt to explain the line broadening. So far, spectroscopic and timing analyzes have not yet convinced the whole community to discriminate between the two scenarios. Here we study to which extent X-ray polarimetric measurements of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) and type-1 AGN could help to identify the possible origin of the line distortion. To do so, we report on recent simulations obtained for the two BH flavors and show that the proposed scenarios are found to behave differently in polarization degree and polarization angle. A relativistic origin for the distortion is found to be more probable in the context of BHXRBs, supporting the idea that the same mechanism should lead the way also for AGN. We show that the discriminating polarization signal could have been detectable by several X-ray polarimetry missions proposed in the past.     

Accelerating NLTE radiative transfer by means of the Forth-and-Back Implicit Lambda Iteration: A two-level atom line formation in 2D Cartesian coordinates

State-of-the-art methods in multidimensional NLTE radiative transfer are based on the use of local approximate lambda operator within either Jacobi or Gauss–Seidel iterative schemes. Here we propose another approach to the solution of 2D NLTE RT problems, Forth-and-Back Implicit Lambda Iteration (FBILI), developed earlier for 1D geometry. In order to present the method and examine its convergence properties we use the well-known instance of the two-level atom line formation with complete frequency redistribution. In the formal solution of the RT equation we employ short characteristics with two-point algorithm. Using an implicit representation of the source function in the computation of the specific intensities, we compute and store the coefficients of the linear relations J=a+bS$J=a+\mathit{bS}$ between the mean intensity J and the corresponding source function S. The use of iteration factors in the ‘local’ coefficients of these implicit relations in two ‘inward’ sweeps of 2D grid, along with the update of the source function in other two ‘outward’ sweeps leads to four times faster solution than the Jacobi’s one. Moreover, the update made in all four consecutive sweeps of the grid leads to an acceleration by a factor of 6–7 compared to the Jacobi iterative scheme.
