固体火箭喷管颗粒尺寸分级两相跨音速流场计算

本文中对固体火箭喷管颗粒尺寸分级的两相跨音速流场作了计算.气相控制方程采用隐式近似因子分解法求解,尺寸分级的颗粒控制方程采用特征线求解,然后,二者进行充分的耦合,可以获得固体火箭发动机含有任意颗粒质量分数和不同颗粒尺寸时轴对称喷管跨音速流场的参数分布.文中讨论了不同颗粒半径和质量分数对流场的影响,对单一颗粒尺寸和颗粒尺寸分级的参数进行了比较.两相耦合计算的迭代收敛速度取决于气相,本文中气相方程求解的格式除部分边界外是隐式的,CFL数可取至6左右,收敛速度快.特别是对颗粒尺寸分级的计算,得益更大,其得益的倍数为颗粒的分级数.     

Particle Acceleration in Mercury’s Magnetosphere

This paper is devoted to the problem of particle acceleration in the closest to the Sun Hermean magnetosphere. We discuss few available observations of energetic particles in Mercury environment made by Mariner-10 in 1974–1975 during Mercury flyby’s and by Helios in 1979 upstream of the Hermean bow shock. Typically ions are non-adiabatic in a very dynamic and compact Mercury magnetosphere, so one may expect that particle acceleration will be very effective. However, it works perfectly for electrons, but for ions the scale of magnetosphere is so small that it allows their acceleration only up to 100 keV. We present comparative analysis of the efficiency of various acceleration mechanisms (inductive acceleration, acceleration by the centrifugal impulse force, stochastic acceleration in a turbulent magnetic fields, wave–particle interactions and bow shock energization) in the magnetospheres of the Earth and Mercury. Finally we discuss several points which need to be addressed in a future Hermean missions.

针对低信噪比条件下红外图像序列中的多个弱小运动目标检测问题,提出了一种基于粒子滤波的多目标检测前跟踪方法.首先分析了红外图像的状态及观测模型,然后将弱小运动目标的检测转化为贝叶斯滤波框架下的检测前跟踪,并利用多个粒子滤波器予以实现.为了评估该算法的有效性,采用人工合成的红外图像序列对其进行测试,结果说明该算法可同时处理低信噪比条件下的多个弱小运动目标,检测和跟踪性能良好.     

AGATE: A high energy gamma-ray telescope using drift chambers

The exciting results from the highly successful Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) has contributed significantly to increasing our understanding of high energy gamma-ray astronomy. A follow-on mission to EGRET is needed to continue these scientific advances as well as to address the several new scientific questions raised by EGRET. Here we describe the work being done on the development of the Advanced Gamma-Ray Astronomy Telescope Experiment (AGATE), visualized as the successor to EGRET. In order to achieve the scientific goals, AGATE will have higher sensitivity than EGRET in the energy range 30 MeV to 30 GeV, larger effective area, better angular resolution, and an extended low and high energy range. In its design, AGATE will follow the tradition of the earlier gamma-ray telescopes, SAS-2, COS B, and EGRET, and will have the same four basic components of an anticoincidence system, directional coincidence system, track imaging, and energy measurement systems. However, due to its much larger size, AGATE will use drift chambers as its track imaging system rather than the spark chambers used by EGRET. Drift chambers are an obvious choice as they have less deadtime per event, better spatial resolution, and are relatively easy and inexpensive to build. Drift chambers have low power requirements, so that many layers of drift chambers can be included. To test the feasibility of using drift chambers, we have constructed a prototype instrument consisting of a stack of sixteen 1/2m × 1/2m drift chambers and have measured the spatial resolution using atmospheric muons. The results on the drift chamber performance in the laboratory are presented here.     

颗粒级配优化研究——滚动级配法

提出了一个颗粒级配优化新理论——滚动级配法。揭示了宽广级配范围内,在相同配方系和相等颗粒比表面条件下粘度最低的级配规律。用这一理论指导配方设计时,不仅药浆工艺性能最好而且有较宽的配方“自由度”以满足弹道和力学性能的要求。本研究全部实验结果表明:凡是符合滚动级配法的推进剂配方,其药浆粘度最低;反之,粘度就大。认为“最紧密排列理论”是滚动级配法的特例。

RJMCMC粒子滤波方法在月球探测器自主天文导航中的应用

天文导航系统是典型的非线性和噪声非高斯分布的系统。针对传统的扩展卡尔曼滤波不适于非线性和噪声非高斯分布的系统，和一般粒子滤波存在的粒子退化等问题，提出了一种将RJMCMC（可逆跳转马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗）算法应用于月球探测器自主天文导航粒子滤波器中的新方法。计算机仿真结果显示了该方法在加快收敛速度、提高导航定位精度和自适应调整粒子个数方面的有效性和可行性。     

一种基于Particle Filter的攻击目标高度估计算法

利用目标高度估计确定目标攻击要害点是精确制导武器信息处理中的一个重要内容。传统方法主要有直接利用几何方法估计和扩展卡尔曼滤波器方法,这两种方法精度都不高。Partic le F ilter是一种新出现的滤波方法,在解决非线性问题中得到了广泛应用。利用Partic le F ilter设计了一种新的目标高度估计算法。该算法通过贝叶斯递推方法,避免了在测量方程非线性很强的时候,扩展卡尔曼滤波器不合理的线性化所带来的误差。仿真结果表明,这种基于Partic le F ilter的目标高度估计算法提高了估计精度和收敛的鲁棒性。     

Relative ion Fe,C and O abundances in quiet time particle fluxes in the 23 SC

Using ACE and SOHO data the origin of quiet-time low-energy particle fluxes at 1 AU is studied in the 23rd solar cycle. One of the selection criteria of quiet-time periods is to demand that H/He < 10 provided that periods with noticeable contribution of remnants of gradual events have been excluded from consideration. Our results suggest different origin of 0.03–3 MeV/nucleon particles – different seed populations accelerated and different acceleration processes. During the ascending, maximum and descending phases of solar activity quiet-time ions consist of coronal particles accelerated to suprathermal energies in about a half of the quiet periods, the rest of quiet-time fluxes originates from particle acceleration in processes similar to those in small impulsive solar flares rich in Fe. At solar minimum the bulk solar wind particles serve as seed population.     

Alfvén waves as a driving mechanism in stellar winds

Alfvén waves have been invoked as an important mechanism of particle acceleration in stellar winds of cool stars. After their identification in the solar wind they started to be studied in winds of stars located in different regions of the HR diagram. We discuss here some characteristics of these waves and we present a direct application in the acceleration of late-type stellar winds.
