Study of backward propagating Langmuir waves with PIC simulation

The conversion of Langmuir waves into electromagnetic radiations is an important mechanism of solar type III bursts. Langmuir waves can be easily excited by electron beam instability, and they can be converted into backward propagating Langmuir waves by wave–wave interaction. Generally, the backward propagating Langmuir waves are very important for the second harmonic emission of solar type III bursts. In this work, we pay particular attention to the mechanism of the backward propagating Langmuir waves by particle in cell (PIC) simulations. It is confirmed that the ions play a key role in exiting the backward propagating Langmuir waves. Moreover, the electron beam can hardly generated the backward propagating Langmuir waves directly, but may directly amplify the second harmonic Langmuir waves.     

Identification of seismic activity sources on the subsatellite track by ionospheric plasma disturbances detected with the Sich-2 onboard probes

Using a cylindrical Langmuir probe and the authors’ proprietary two-channel pressure transducer, ionospheric plasma parameter distributions along the orbit of the Sich-2 satellite (Ukraine, 2011–2012) were measured. This paper is concerned with identifying the space–time location of ionospheric plasma disturbance sources, including the epicenters of actual earthquakes (before or during the satellite flyover) and incipient earthquakes on the subsatellite track, from the measured distributions of the electron density and temperature and the neutral particle temperature along the satellite orbit. To do this, the measured ionospheric plasma parameter distributions are connected to the coordinates on the subsatellite track.It is shown that local disturbances in the electron density and temperature and neutral particle temperature distributions in the satellite orbit in the ionosphere may serve as indicators of seismic activity on the subsatellite track. The epicenters of incipient earthquakes may be set off from other plasma parameter disturbance sources associated with seismic activity using information provided by special monitoring and survey centers that monitor the current seismic situation.     

三维五向编织复合材料的冲击压缩特性及破坏机制

利用分离式霍普金森压杆(split Hopkinson pressure bar,SHPB)实验系统和高速摄像技术对三维五向碳/环氧编织复合材料的动态压缩特性进行研究。通过对编织角为22.3°的试样分别进行沿纵向和横向方向的冲击压缩实验,得到材料在200~1200 s^-1应变率范围内的应力应变曲线,并结合高速摄像记录的动态压缩过程,对不同应变率下材料在高速变形下的渐进破坏规律进行分析。同时,综合试样的宏观破坏特征和微观断口形貌特征,进一步分析材料的破坏模式及破坏机理。结果表明:随着应变率的增加,材料在纵向和横向均具有一定的应变率强化效应,在横向方向的应变率强化效应更为显著;不同加载方向下材料的渐进破坏过程、应力应变曲线特征以及破坏方式均具有明显差异,且随着应变率的增加而发生改变。     

Influence and optimization of parameters of prepreg viscosity during placement

This paper tested the viscosity of prepreg in the automatic placement process, and conducted the probe and placement-90° peel tests through the test systems. The law of variation of prepreg viscosity during the laying process was studied through these tests under different conditions by taking the peel force to intuitively and quantitatively characterise the viscosity of the prepreg.The results show that this viscosity is inversely proportional to the laying rate, proportional to the laying pres...     

Modeling and simulation of bow wave effect in probe and drogue aerial refueling

In a probe and drogue aerial refueling system, the bow wave of the receiver aircraft will produce a strong aerodynamic effect on the drogue once the receiver follows the drogue at a close distance. It is a major difficulty of docking control in the probe and drogue refueling. This paper analyses the bow wave effect and presents a simple method to model it. Firstly, the inviscid flow around the receiver is modeled based on the stream function defined by basic stream singularities.Secondly, a correction function is developed to eliminate the error caused by the absence of air viscosity. Then, the aerodynamic coefficients are used to calculate the induced aerodynamic force on the drogue. The obtained model is in an analytical form that can be easily applied to the controller design and the real-time simulations. In the verification part, computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation tests are conducted to validate the obtained flow fields and aerodynamic forces. Finally,the modeling method is applied to an F-16 receiver aircraft in a previously developed autonomous aerial refueling simulation system. The simulations results are analyzed and compared with the NASA flight-test data, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

航天器外表面导电面积对朗缪尔探针科学探测的影响

朗缪尔探针的科学探测会受到航天器外表面导电面积与朗缪尔探针传感器有效面积之比大小的影响。如果航天器的外表面导电面积不足够大,朗缪尔探针以扫描电压模式工作时,就会造成航天器地电位的扰动,进而导致朗缪尔探针测量结果的偏差。分析了此问题的物理原理,并进行了相应的理论计算。子午工程探空火箭有效载荷朗缪尔探针在进行科学探测的同时,测量了火箭外表面导电面积与朗缪尔探针传感器有效面积之比不足造成的扰动,测量结果与理论分析基本一致。

使用朗缪尔探针诊断法获得电推力器喷口位置等离子体的状态参数时,探针在喷口位置停留时间过长造成探针被等离子体流烧坏.以LabVIEW为开发平台研制了一种精确定位的快速往复运动诊断系统.该系统能实现探针迅速推进到喷口位置,停留极短时间保证探针能正常完成电流电压数据采集,最后快速的退出到起始位置,避免探针烧坏.与传统的朗缪尔探针诊断系统测量霍尔推力器羽流区等离子体状态相比,该系统自动化程度高,探针采集喷口位置的数据更能反映等离子体的真实状态.     

太阳风里高能电子自发辐射的Langmuir波

本文讨论太阳风里太阳耀班高能电子产生的Langmuir波的自发辐射。理论估计得出,在时间尺度γ_km-1内,Langmuir波自发辐射的电场幅值约为10-3-10-2mV/m(依赖于高能电子速度分布的具体形式),这里γ_km为在波数k处的峰增长率。此理论结果比飞船在太阳风里的观测值低2-3个数量级。因此认为,太阳风里自发辐射产生的Langmuir波辐射是可以忽略的。      

HTPB推进剂高应变率粘弹性本构模型研究

为分析HTPB推进剂在高应变率条件下的力学响应,开展了推进剂分离式Hopkinson压杆(SHPB)实验,得到了不同温度(-40~25℃)和应变率(700~2050s-1)下的应力-应变曲线。结果表明,HTPB推进剂在高应变率条件下具有显著的温度和应变率敏感性,且随着应变率的增加和温度的降低,推进剂的应力逐渐增加。在Burke模型基础上,结合超弹性和粘弹性理论,建立了一种考虑温度和高应变率效应的本构模型。通过不同温度和应变率条件下实验结果与本构理论预测对比,验证了本构模型的有效性,可为固体推进剂药柱点火瞬态结构完整性分析提供理论依据。
