Statistical properties of the most powerful solar and heliospheric disturbances

We present and discuss here the first version of a data base of extreme solar and heliospheric events. The data base contains now 87 extreme events mostly since 1940. An event is classified as extreme if one of the three critical parameters passed a lower limit. The critical parameters were the X-ray flux (parameter R), solar proton flux (parameter S) and geomagnetic disturbance level (parameter G). We find that the five strongest extreme events based on four variables (X-rays SEP, Dst, Ap) are completely separate except for the October 2003 event which is one the five most extreme events according to SEP, Dst and Ap. This underlines the special character of the October 2003 event, making it unique within 35 years. We also find that the events based on R and G are rather separate, indicating that the location of even extreme flares on the solar disk is important for geomagnetic effects. We also find that S = 3 events are not extreme in the same sense as R > 3 and G > 3 events, while S = 5 events are missing so far. This suggests that it might be useful to rescale the classification of SEP fluxes.     

Reconnection and fast particle production in tokamak and solar plasmas

Detailed in situ studies of magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration, which play a crucial role in the release and redistribution of energy in solar flares, can be performed in tokamak plasmas under conditions resembling those of the flaring solar corona. Recent measurements and modelling of fast particle production during reconnection events in the Mega-Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) are described. Specifically, observations in this device of electron acceleration during edge localised modes, and of both ion and electron acceleration during merging-compression plasma start-up, are presented, and possible implications of these studies for particle acceleration in flares are discussed. The results from MAST lend weight to the conjecture that large numbers of ions are accelerated to sub-MeV energies in flares.     

Multi-station observation of ionospheric disturbance of March 9 2012 and comparison with IRI-model

The magnetic storm of 9 March 2012 is a single step intense storm (Dst = −143 nT) whose main phase begins around 0100 UT and lasted for almost 11 h. The increases in NmF2 recorded 33% and 67% incidence respectively during the main and the recovery phase of the storm at the stations considered. The increase in hmF2 occurred concurrently with the increase in thickness parameter B0 between 0000 and 1100 UT, and a simultaneous decrease in the shape parameter B1 for the entire mid-latitude stations. Generally, B1 responded to the storm with a decrease away from the quiet day average, and decreased simultaneously with the increase in NmF2. B0 displays higher variability magnitude during daytime than the nighttime period. The occasional differences in the response of the ionospheric parameters to the storm event are attributed to longitudinal differences. Variation in hmF2 and NmF2 is projected to change in B1, but the rationale behind this effect on B1 is still not known and therefore left open. The two IRI options over-estimate the observed values with that of URSI higher than CCIR. The over-estimation was higher during the nighttime than the daytime for NmF2 response for the mid-latitude stations and the reverse for the equatorial station. A fairer fit of the model with the observed for all parameters over Jicamarca suggests that equatorial regions are better represented on the model. Extensive study of B1 and B0 is recommended to arrive at a better performance of IRI.

Velocity correlation functions of charged particles derived from the Fokker–Planck equation

An important ingredient in theories for diffusion of charged particles across a mean magnetic field are velocity correlation functions along and across that field. In the current article we present an analytical study of these functions by investigating the two-dimensional Fokker–Planck equation. We show that for an isotropic pitch-angle Fokker–Planck coefficient, the parallel velocity correlation function is an exponential function in agreement with the standard model used previously. For other forms of the pitch-angle diffusion coefficient, however, we find non-exponential forms. Also a new, velocity correlation function based, approach for deriving the so-called Earl-relation is presented. This new derivation is more systematic and simpler than previous derivations. We also discuss higher-order velocity correlations and the applicability of the quasi-normal hypothesis in particle diffusion theory. Furthermore, we compute velocity correlation functions across the mean field and develop an alternative theory for perpendicular diffusion.     

新型三阶TVD限制器性能分析

在计算流体力学(CFD)方法中,限制技术是影响计算精度和计算稳定性的重要因素,目前应用较广的经典二阶总变差衰减(TVD)限制器虽能较好地满足计算要求,但性能差异大且分辨率和耗散的性能间并未得到良好权衡。对一种新型的三阶TVD插值限制器(T-3限制器)进行了研究并将其与3种经典限制器进行对比。首先通过一维黎曼问题,得出T-3限制器兼顾较高间断分辨率和良好稳定性的特点;接着通过高超声速双锥绕流和X-33外形飞行器的数值实验,得到T-3限制器具有刻画复杂流动的能力以及较优的气动热计算性能。

磁暴期间环电流离子中性原子成像的模拟与观测比较研究

采用已经建立的环电流离子解析模型,结合Chamberlain地冕中性层模型,研究了2004年11月一次大磁暴期间的环电流区域中性原子(ENA)图像.结果表明,模拟的ENA图像与TC-2卫星搭载的中性原子成像仪(NUAUD)的观测图像在方位角或地方时分布、高度或纬度分布和能谱分布方面存在一定的差异.如果依据磁暴发展的不同阶段来选择环电流离子模型的方位角不对称因子和通量最大方向的方位角,增大地冕中性层在低高度区域的密度或者考虑氢(H)以外的其他中性成分,改进注入边界处的离子能谱分布函数,且考虑不同种类环电流离子的比例随磁暴发展可能发生的变化,该模型有望产生更符合观测的模拟ENA图像.

抗垂风干扰直接升力控制系统设计

一、引言 在垂风干扰作用下,常规飞机往往不能保持航迹角不变,从而使得航迹变化越来越大,这在很多情况下是不符合飞机飞行要求的。而直接升力控制系统,由于实现了对应状态的解耦,在垂风干扰作用下,则可以基本保持航迹角不变。如果采用抗干扰调节器设计方法设计直接升力控制系统,则可以始终保持航迹角为0,从而保证航迹不变。本文以某型飞机为背景讨论了上述问题。采用离散域直接设计。
