自由飞行下考虑高空风的最小安全间距研究

自由飞行为解决空中交通拥挤问题提供了有效方法,为保证自由飞行下的飞行安全,对飞机对间的最小安全间距的研究显得尤为重要。高空风对飞机的航向、地速都有影响,综合考虑了CNS性能及高空风因素来建立基于随机微分方程的碰撞风险模型,利用MATLAB计算算例中的碰撞风险。根据给定的安全目标水平,利用牛顿迭代法对最小安全间距进行寻优,求解自由飞行下的最小安全间距。算例结果表明了所建模型的可行性。     

中尺度电离层扰动的统计色散特性

利用Millstone Hill(288.5E,42.6N)地区的数字测高仪漂移模观测数据,统计分析了中尺度电离层行扰(TID)的色散特性.分析结果表明,该地区的TID在扰动频率-相速度平面的分布中存在若干明显的扰动出现率峰值.比较相应的理论研究结果发现,观测到的TID大都可以用不同的受导重力波传播模式加以解释: 频率较高的TID可以用地面和热层底部维持的各阶完全制导模解释,频率相对较低的TID可以用传统理论给出的由热层底部陡峭的温度梯度维持的L₁模和我们新近提出的由热层背景风场所维持的各阶导管模解释.      

扰流片分离流动特性的数值研究

在非结构网格下,采用SIMPLE算法结合两层带状边界层模型求解雷诺平均N-S方程.研究了底部间隙对平板扰流片引起的分离再附流动结构的影响.结果表明带底部间隙扰流片的流动结构主要由顶部绕流和底部间隙射流影响.底部间隙的大小决定了射流的强度,最终决定了绕流的结构.随着底部间隙的增大,绕流经历了封闭单涡回流区、射流干扰回流区以及平板绕流3种流动结构.它们之间的分界点分别是用扰流片宽无量纲间隙g/h=0.2,0.4.底部间隙0.2＜g/h＜0.4,底板压力分布基本保持不变,因此不会影响其应用于飞机部件的静态气动特性.

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.     

A numerical study of noontime bite-outs in F2-region electron density

Noontime bite-outs in ionospheric F₂-region electron density in the geomagnetic equatorial, low, and middle latitudes have been reproduced in this study using the Thermosphere Ionosphere Electrodynamic General Circulation Model (TIEGCM). The different driving mechanisms of F₂-region noontime bite-outs at different latitudes were further verified by modeling simulation. In the geomagnetic equator, the upward ExB plasma drifts are the main process to produce the noontime bite-outs in ionospheric electron density. In the geomagnetic low latitudes, both the electrical fields and poleward meridional winds play a crucial role in forming the noontime bite-outs. In contrast to the case at the geomagnetic equator, a weaker fountain effect might be an favorable condition for the noontime bite-outs to occur at low latitudes. For geomagnetic middle latitudes, an upward plasma flux and poleward meridional winds are the dominated drivers in producing the noontime bite-outs. Modeling results show that a large upward plasma flux and poleward meridional winds make the noontime bite-outs to occur and observable over middle latitudes.     

Effect of the continental shelf in seasonal oceanographic conditions at the Northern edge of the Eastern Tropical Pacific

The continental shelf in front of Nayarit is located in the northern limit of the tropical Eastern Pacific, characterized by constituting a convergence zone of different masses of water, forming an area of significant hydrographic variability. Based on satellite remote sensing data and reanalysis between 2003 and 2019 of sea surface temperature (SST), wind stress, Ekman velocity, and geostrophic velocity, the contribution of the seasonal cycle to the variability of the study area were analyzed through climatological means, Hovmöhler diagrams, and Empirical Orthogonal Functions. The results show that in the zone in front of Matanchén Bay (21.5 °N) and the adjacent continental shelf, there is a core of warm surface water. The distribution of the SST is explained by the seasonal pattern of meridional/zonal variability in the thermal gradient, where the EOFs show the influence of the annual scale in both modes, with the only difference being that the first describes the meridional gradient as the dominant signal (66.2%), and the second shows the zonal behavior of the thermal gradient (16.6%). The summer weakening of the wind stress and Ekman speed is the product of the irregular shape of the coastline, the extension of the continental shelf, and the divergence of the North American monsoon around 21°N, whereas during the rest of the year an intensification of these parameters prevailed in front of Cabo Corrientes. On the other hand, the intense geostrophic flow in summer does not contribute to the increase in SST on the continental shelf because it diverges around 22.5°N. Likewise, during the winter, the formation of a cyclonic geostrophic gyre located inside the continental shelf, between the coast and the Marías Islands, stands out.
