Very low thrust station-keeping for low Earth orbiting satellites

Traditional station-keeping for Earth observation satellites with chemical thrusters generally involves maneuvers every couple months that are able to change significantly the semi-major axis and the inclination. These strategies do not scale down to very low thrust level (a few hundreds of μN) electrical thrusters. This paper presents both in-plane and out-of-plane strategies that spread corrections over very long arcs and discretize them to tiny maneuvers every couple orbits, taking into account mission-constraints on maneuvers locations. These strategies scale up to medium thrust strategies, filling the gap between propulsion technologies. The out-of-plane strategy although features a new no-deadband property and controls the full orbital momentum. All strategies allow control very close to the reference (a few hundreds meters in osculating parameters) and very low cost.     

An automatic isotropic/anisotropic hybrid grid generation technique for viscous flow simulations based on an artificial neural network

Based on the author’s previous research, a novel hybrid grid generation technique is developed by introducing an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) approach for realistic viscous flow simulations. An initial hybrid grid over a typical geometry with anisotropic quadrilaterals in the boundary layer and isotropic triangles in the off-body region is generated by the classical mesh generation method to train two ANNs on how to predict the advancing direction of the new point and to control the grid size....

针对防空反导拦截导弹拦截高突防能力目标的需求，研究了格栅翼与直接力控制结合使用的创新型导弹布局的气动性能。使用计算流体力学(CFD)方法计算了新型布局在不同姿轨控组合喷流时的气动干扰特性，对比研究了典型设计点的无喷、单喷口喷流、组合喷流的全弹主要气动分量和部件气动力。研究结果表明:格栅翼应用于高空高速的弹道末端时，格栅内部不会出现壅塞现象;组合喷流的姿轨控可解耦，在气动力数学模型建模时可以主要针对轨控的气动干扰量进行建模，从而极大的简化气动数学模型，减少型号研制成本。研究结论可推广到一般的在弹道末端纯直接力控制的布局气动力数学建模中。     

可重复使用运载器级间分离过程研究

级间分离过程中，可重复使用运载器受到非定常扰动，可能会造成分离失败。为研究级间分离过程中可重复使用运载器运动特性及周围流场分布随分离高度的变化情况，建立航天器和运载器的运动方程，使用动网格技术和有限体积法求解N-S方程。研究结果表明：随着级间分离高度的升高，气动力不断减小，非定常扰动对分离产生的影响越来越小；分离过程中，航天器和运载器的平动速度差较小，角速度差越来越小，最大差值从30 km高空的0.427 rad/s减小到50 km 高空的0.1 rad/s，二者之间的最小距离变大，更有利于安全分离。

A compressing and saving method for structured grid data based on block construction

The increasing grid data in CFD simulation has brought some new difficulties and challenges, such as high storage cost, low transmission efficiency. In order to overcome these problems,a novel method for compressing and saving the structured grid are proposed. In the present method,the geometric coordinates of the six logical domains of one grid block is saved instead of all grid vertex coordinates to reduce the size of the structured grid file when the grid is compressed. And all grid vertex co...
