Performance analysis of variable speed tail rotors with Gurney flaps

Gurney Flaps (GFs) are used for improving the performance of variable speed tail rotors. A validated analytical helicopter model able to predict the main and tail rotor power is utilized. The fixed height GF has substantially small influence on the tail rotor power in hover and low to medium speed forward flight, and can obtain significant power reduction in high speed flight. This ability can be enhanced by decreasing the tail rotor speed. With the deployment of GF, the collective pitch of the tail rotor decreases, and the maximum tail rotor thrust increases. The GF can compensate the reduction of the maximum thrust by the decrease in the tail rotor speed. The GF with a height of 5% of the chord length can almost remedy 50% of the thrust reduction introduced by decreasing 10% of the tail rotor speed. With the increase of GF height, the maximum thrust generated by the tail rotor increases. The GF with larger height can cause the increase in the tail rotor power in hover and low to medium speed flight. The retractable GF can obtain more power savings than the fixed height GF. However, the benefit is substantially small even in high speed flight. Considering the side effects introduced by the active GF, the fixed height GF may be more preferable. The mechanism for the retractable GF to generate more tail rotor thrust is to increase the lift in advancing side due to the higher dynamic pressure.

IV: GEODESY: Remarks on the Role of Height Datum in Altimetry-Gravimetry Boundary-Value Problems

The problem of global geoid determination is usually solved using satellite altimetry data on the oceans, together with an oceanographic model of sea surface topography, and gravity anomaly data on the continents. Such data, however, enable to obtain only potential differences with respect to a reference surface whose absolute potential is unknown. This situation suggests to modify the classical mixed boundary-value problem of physical geodesy by inserting into the boundary conditions an unknown additive constant, that must be determined by imposing a suitable additional constraint. Yet, such formulation of the boundary-value problem, from the point of view of its mathematical properties, is not unconditionally well-posed, and, furthermore, does not reflect faithfully the available physical model, as the present knowledge of ocean circulation does not allow to connect along coastlines the reference surfaces defined on the oceans and on the continents. The introduction of two different unknown additive constants, one for the oceans and one for the earth, to be determined by imposing two additional constraints, gives rise to a more faithful picture of the present physical knowledge, and, at the same time, to a new well-posed formulation of the boundary-value problem. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

地球卫星星光折射导航量测量及其性能对比

星光折射天文导航是一种重要的地球卫星自主导航方式,量测量是影响其导航精度的重要因素。在地球卫星星光折射导航中,折射视高度、星光折射角、折射星像素坐标（折射星矢量）是3种常用的量测量,结合星光折射导航的基本原理重点介绍了这3种量测量的获取方法和量测模型,通过仿真和可观性分析比较了相同条件下3种量测量的导航性能。仿真结果表明,由于折射星像素坐标可以同时反映星光折射的大小和方向可观性高,而星光折射角和折射视高度仅能反映星光折射的大小,无法反映其方向可观性低,因此折射星像素坐标的导航性能优于星光折射角和折射视高度。此外,本文也对星敏感器精度、卫星轨道高度、星敏感器安装夹角3种因素对3种方法导航性能的影响进行了分析。     

2D雷达组网中目标高度估计误差的Cramér-Rao限

 在由2坐标雷达组成的雷达网中,推导了目标高度估计误差的CRLB(Cram&;#225;r-Rao限),并通过不同条件下的数值计算得到了一些结论。结果表明,目标高度估计误差的CRLB既与雷达的测角误差有关,也与目标和2个雷达站形成的夹角有关系,雷达配置在不同的高度上有利于目标高度估计的收敛性。这些结论对于2坐标雷达组网以及雷达网中的传感器管理具有指导意义。

基于移动质心滚动控制方案,研究了其动力学系统建模和非线性耦合系统控制的问题。不同于移动质心控制系统建模中常用的牛顿力学建模和常规拉格朗日建模法,采用准坐标形式的拉格朗日法建立了完整的系统动力学方程,避免了牛顿力学中复杂的相互作用力分析和常规拉格朗日建模法物理意义不明确的缺点。鉴于移动质心滚动控制系统的非线性、耦合性和时变性,提出把系统的非线性耦合项和外部干扰统归为未知扰动,并采用自抗扰控制(ADRC)技术进行估计和补偿,相对于常用的比例微分(PD)控制,自抗扰控制器能更好地适应系统参数的变化,具有很强的鲁棒性。最后,通过数学仿真验证了整个控制方案的可行性。     

Linkage of the ionospheric peak electron density and height deduced from the topside sounding data

Topside sounding electron density profiles are analyzed to explore interrelations of the F2 layer critical frequency and the peak height for a representative set of conditions provided by ISIS1, ISIS2, IK19 and Cosmos-1809 satellites for the period of 1969–1987. The foF2 and hmF2 are delivered with exponential extrapolation of electron density profile to zero of its 1st derivative. It is shown that the linear regression exists between foF2 and hmF2 under different conditions. The linkage between the two parameters amended to the empirical model of the peak height [Gulyaeva, T.L., Bradley, P.A., Stanislawska, I., Juchnikowski, G. Towards a new reference model of hmF2 for IRI. Adv. Space Res. 42, 666–672, doi:10.1016/j.asr.2008.02.021, 2008] results in an empirical model of the both foF2 and hmF2 expressed by superposition of functions in terms of local-time, season, geodetic longitude, modified dip latitude and solar activity. For the solar activity we use a proxy Fsp index averaged from the mean solar radio flux F10.7s for the past 81 days (3 solar rotations) and F10.7 value for 1 day prior the day of observation. Impact of geomagnetic activity is not discernible with the topside sounding data due to mixed positive and negative storm-time effects. Appreciable differences have been revealed between IRI-CCIR predictions and outcome of the new model which might be attributed to the different techniques of the peak electron density and height derivation, different epochs and different global distribution of the source data as well as the different mathematical functions involved in the maps and the model presentation.
