EUROPEAN NETWORK FOR THE NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SPACE PLASMAS

The Cluster mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) will allow, for the first time three-dimensional measurements in key regions of the Earth's magnetosphere to be carried out. The European Numerical Simulation Network (ENSN) aims at providing a theoretical support to the mission. We describe the achievements of the ENSN during its first period of activity 1991–1994, during which the network was funded by the European Union. In particular, the ENSN has set up (i) thematic Working Groups on the prime scientific goals of the mission, (ii) a code development Working Group to develop numerical simulation codes specifically adapted to studying magnetospheric boundaries and the corresponding scale mixing, and (iii) software models of Cluster instruments to test in a numerical simulation what the set of four instruments will measure.     

带制退器复杂流场并行算法研究

基于集群系统(CLUSTER),在Linux和MPI并行环境下,研究了带制退器的复杂膛口流场三维数值模拟并行算法。计算网格是三维多区结构化网格,数值格式采用Jameson格式及LU隐式分解方法。针对流场的复杂拓扑结构,建立分区信息文件记录各分区的相关信息,并提出了通过合并相邻网格分区的方法均衡各个进程的负载,提高程序的并行效率。在处理需要通讯的信息时,设计了自定义数据类型和"设置中间参数"相结合的方法,并通过动态分配内存减少了程序对计算机系统资源的占用。数值实验表明,本文设计的算法可以适应拓扑结构较复杂的流场,并能取得理想的并行效率,将有助于制退器性能的研究。     

基于多DSP芯片的实时SAR雷达转角变换模块设计

设计了一款基于多DSP芯片的并行SAR雷达转角变换模块,用于协调合成孔径雷达(SAR:SyntheticAperture Radar)雷达距离处理模块和方位处理模块间的数据转换。设计采用了多片AD公司的超级哈佛结构的DSP芯片,这样能进行高速大容量的浮点运算。为满足SAR雷达的大数据量存储,选用了大容量的DRAM,并配有CPLD模块用于接口控制。设计解决了处理时间与容量的矛盾,实现了SAR雷达转角模块数据的实时高速处理。
