非等强度多道冲击波作用下空泡溃灭机制分析

航空航天、生物医学等领域均存在冲击波与空泡作用问题,冲击波尤其是多道冲击波作用下空泡溃灭包含着复杂的多相瞬变行为与物理现象。基于自主搭建的可压缩多相流并行数值平台,对液体中单一/多道冲击波与空泡的作用过程进行了数值模拟。通过对冲击波作用下空泡内波系性质,以及多道冲击波与空泡作用后的系列反射波系在液体中的相互作用过程进行详细解析,分析了不同冲击波作用下空泡的形变演化过程,探究了空泡的溃灭机制与特性。研究发现,相较于单一冲击波的作用,多道冲击波作用下空泡内部及周围液体流场中的波系结构更为复杂,然而无论是单一冲击波或是多道冲击波工况,其最终诱发的空泡溃灭形态均十分相似。而且,当空泡发生溃灭前所受到多道冲击波的总强度与单一冲击波强度相等时,空泡的溃灭波强度也十分相近,为多道冲击波与空泡作用效果的定量化评估提供了理论基础和依据。     

Nonlinear electron-acoustic rogue waves in electron-beam plasma system with non-thermal hot electrons

The properties of nonlinear electron-acoustic rogue waves have been investigated in an unmagnetized collisionless four-component plasma system consisting of a cold electron fluid, non-thermal hot electrons obeying a non-thermal distribution, an electron beam and stationary ions. It is found that the basic set of fluid equations is reduced to a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The dependence of rogue wave profiles on the electron beam and energetic population parameter are discussed. The results of the present investigation may be applicable in auroral zone plasma.

Directional Filtering Due to Mesospheric Wind Shear on the Propagation of Acoustic-gravity Waves

Gravity waves with periods close to the Brunt-V?is?l? period of the upper troposphere are often observed at mesopause altitudes as short period, quasi-monochromatic waves. The assumption that these short period waves originate in the troposphere may be problematic because their upward propagation to the mesosphere and lower thermosphere region could be significantly impeded due to an extended region of strong evanescence above the stratopause. To reconcile this apparent paradox, an alternative explanation is proposed in this paper. The inclusion of mean winds and their vertical shears is sufficient to allow certain short period waves to remain internal above the stratopause and to propagate efficiently to higher altitudes. A time-dependent numerical model is used to demonstrate the feasibility of this and to determine the circumstances under which the mesospheric wind shears play a role in the removal and directional filtering of short period gravity waves. Finally this paper concludes that the combination of the height-dependent mean winds and the mean temperature structure probably explains the existence of short period, quasi-monochromatic structures observed in airglow images of mesopause region.      

Dust acoustic dressed solitons in a four component dusty plasma with nonthermal electron

Nonlinear dust acoustic dressed soliton are studied in a four component dusty plasma. Nonthermal distributions for electrons are considered. The Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is derived by using reductive perturbation technique. A higher order inhomogeneous differential equation is obtained for the higher order correction. The expression for dressed soliton is obtained by the renormalization method. The expressions for higher order correction are determined using a series solution technique.     

Gravity wave propagation studies using the Indian MST radar observations

The Indian MST radar facility at Gadanki (13.5°N, 79.2°E) has been utilised to study the propagation of gravity waves from the troposphere/lower stratosphere to the mesosphere and their interaction with the radar backscattered signal variations. The main objective is to correlate vertically propagating gravity waves derived from the tropospheric velocity fields with the dynamics of mesospheric scattering centres. The tropospheric wind velocities and signal strengths over the entire height range have been subjected to power spectral and wavelet analysis to determine the predominant wave periods/amplitudes and the coupling between the lower atmosphere and mesosphere. Results show that (a) the gravity waves are clearly detectable near tropopause heights, (b) while relatively higher period gravity waves (20–50 min) interact with mesospheric scattering centres, the lower period waves (<20 min) are absorbed in the troposphere itself, (c) the mesospheric scattering layers are affected by gravity waves of complementary periods.     

Modeling of sub-ionospheric VLF signal perturbations associated with total solar eclipse, 2009 in Indian subcontinent

During the total solar eclipse of 2009, a week-long campaign was conducted in the Indian sub-continent to study the low-latitude D-region ionosphere using the very low frequency (VLF) signal from the Indian Navy transmitter (call sign: VTX3) operating at 18.2 kHz. It was observed that in several places, the signal amplitude is enhanced while in other places the amplitude is reduced. We simulated the observational results using the well known Long Wavelength Propagation Capability (LWPC) code. As a first order approximation, the ionospheric parameters were assumed to vary according to the degree of solar obscuration on the way to the receivers. This automatically brought in non-uniformity of the ionospheric parameters along the propagation paths. We find that an assumption of 4 km increase of lower ionospheric height for places going through totality in the propagation path simulate the observations very well at Kathmandu and Raiganj. We find an increase of the height parameter by h^′=+3.0$h^{\prime }=+3.0$ km for the VTX-Malda path and h^′=+1.8$h^{\prime }=+1.8$ km for the VTX-Kolkata path. We also present, as an example, the altitude variation of electron number density throughout the eclipse time at Raiganj.     

两种湍流模型及其可压缩修正在高超压缩拐角中的评估(英文)

采用在高阶精度差分格式对SA湍流模型和SST湍流模型及相应的可压缩修正模型在高超拐角流中进行了评估。可压缩修正方式考虑了密度梯度、压力膨胀和湍流马赫数等方法。为了减小数值误差与模型误差之间的混淆,控制方程的对流项采用了5阶精度的加权紧致非线性格式(WCNS-E-5),粘性项采用了一种半结点/结点交错的4阶中心格式。通过对马赫数为9.22的15度拐角和34度拐角湍流的模拟,考察了原始湍流模型及其修正模型的效果。计算表明:原始SST模型对高超拐角湍流的预测比原始SA模型准确,这种准确主要体现在对分离区预测、再附点附近压力和热流峰值预测上。通过混合采用Catris和Shur等的方法对 SA模型进行可压缩修正可以大大改进模拟效果。在SST模型的可压缩修正方法中,Catris的修正方法最好;考虑压力膨胀修正后得到的分离区远远偏大,比本原始SST模型更差;考虑湍流马赫数的修正方法得到的分离区偏小。本文还给了部分低阶格式的计算结果,高阶格式与低阶格式相比,对分离区大小、再附点附近的压力和热流峰值等的预测准度有所改进。     

应用于毫米波反射计的多项式校准方法

为了在毫米波波段准确测量波导器件的反射系数,提出了一种应用在反射系数测试前端(反射计)中的校准方法.该校准方法采用基于多项式的误差模型,使得每一个误差项的求解都转化成一个求解轨迹圆圆心的问题,同时不影响求解精度.采用一个滑动负载、一个滑动短路和一个短路器,在毫米波波段降低了对标准件理想程度的要求.实验中搭建了一个Ka波段的反射计,图解误差项的求解过程,分析了误差项的物理意义.把校准后的测量结果与商用矢量网络分析仪(VNA,Vector Network Analyzer)进行比较,吻合较好.同样比较了一组W波段反射计对波纹喇叭的测量结果,进一步验证了方法的合理性.
