Shear Flow Instabilities in Low-Beta Space Plasmas

We study instabilities driven by a sheared plasma flow in the low-frequency domain. Two unstable branches are found: the ion-sound mode and the kinetic Alfvén mode. Both instabilities are aperiodic. The ion-sound instability does not depend on the plasma β (gas/magnetic pressure ratio) and has a maximum growth rate of about 0.1 of the velocity gradient dV ₀/dx. On the other hand, the kinetic Alfvén instability is stronger for larger β and dominates the ion-sound instability for β > 0.05. Possible applications for space plasmas are shortly discussed.

Computational engineering analysis of external geometrical modifications on MQ-1 unmanned combat aerial vehicle

This paper focuses on the effects of external geometrical modifications on the aerodynamic characteristics of the MQ-1 predator Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) using computational fluid dynamics. The investigations are performed for 16 flight conditions at an altitude of 7.6 km and at a constant speed of 56.32 m/s. Two models are analysed, namely the baseline model and the model with external geometrical modifications installed on it. Both the models are investigated for various angles of attack from −4° to 16°, angles of bank from 0° to 6° and angles of yaw from 0° to 4°. Due to the unavailability of any experimental (wind tunnel or flight test) data for this UCAV in the literature, a thorough verification of calculations process is presented to demonstrate confidence level in the numerical simulations. The analysis quantifies the loss of lift and increase in drag for the modified version of the MQ-1 predator UCAV along with the identification of stall conditions. Local improvement (in drag) of up to 96% has been obtained by relocating external modifications, whereas global drag force reduction of roughly 0.5% is observed. The effects of external geometrical modifications on the control surfaces indicate the blanking phenomenon and reduction in forces on the control surfaces that can reduce the aerodynamic performance of the UCAV.     

进口速度和含气率对气泡-液体两相湍流影响的数值研究

气泡-液体两相湍流规律的一个重要问题是,气泡究竟是加强还是削弱液体湍流,或者何时加强何时削弱液体湍流,尚有待深入探讨.本文用作者们提出的二阶矩液体-气泡两相湍流模型即两相雷诺应力方程模型模拟了二维通道内气泡-液体闭式多股射流在不同含气率和不同进口速度下的气泡和液体湍流脉动速度.预报结果和文献中给出的实验结果趋势一致.研究结果显示出低含气率及低进口速度下气泡增强液体湍流,高含气率及高进口速度下气泡削弱液体湍流的规律,澄清了众说纷纭的看法.     

压力振荡对气液同轴离心式喷嘴自激振荡的影响

为了研究供应系统振荡对气液同轴离心式喷嘴自激振荡的影响,采用水和空气作为模拟介质,开展了室压条件下冷态喷雾试验。通过试验分析了供应系统有/无振荡两种情况下离心式喷嘴的喷雾形态,以及供应系统有/无振荡两种情况下气液同轴离心式喷嘴自激振荡的喷雾形态。发现当离心式喷嘴供应系统振荡时,离心式喷嘴产生的锥形液膜也周期性地振荡,同时出现Klystron效应。液膜周期性振荡以及Klystron效应出现的频率与供应系统振荡频率一致。Klystron效应的出现使得喷雾锥角突然减小,锥形液膜发生折叠。供应系统振荡对自激振荡喷雾形态也有显著影响。供应系统振荡引起的Klystron效应使得液膜锥角减小,从而造成"圣诞树"型自激振荡喷雾上的"树枝"增多,同时自激振荡频率增加。这是因为当速度大的液膜追上速度小的液膜时,就会产生Klystron效应并使液膜速度增加。而液膜运动速度越大自激振荡频率也就越大。虽然在供应系统中施加激励没有发生"锁频"现象,但是自激振荡的强度在一定程度上减弱,并且伴随着自激振荡的"分频"现象,即自激振荡频率从一个主频向两侧分化为两个主频。     

基于光流信息的圆弧偏置比例导引规律

提出了一种改进的用于被动寻的导弹的基于光流带落角约束的导引规律,其具有更强的适应性和更小的落角误差,而且该导引律不要求弹目距离信息,克服了被动寻的导弹不能测距的约束.基于采用光学传感器和光流算法的测量模型,受昆虫导航的启发,利用光流信息进行被动寻的导弹的导引和控制.同时借鉴偏置比例导引律的结构,重新设计偏置项,实现导弹以期望的落角命中目标.仿真表明,拦截地面运动目标时,该导引律在保证小脱靶量的同时,基本达到期望的落角,对于测量噪声也具有较好的鲁棒性.      

搅拌流内大振幅界面波特性研究

针对竖直管内不同工况下气液两相搅拌流内的大振幅界面波特征参数(波形、波幅、波长和频率等)及运动特性进行了实验研究,系统分析了流动参数对大振幅界面波特征参数及运动特性的影响规律。结果表明:由于重力和气流剪切力在大振幅界面波不同运动阶段的影响程度不同,大振幅界面波在运动过程中存在与气流先逆向后同向的运动特点,证明了液泛现象普遍存在于搅拌流内,揭示了造成搅拌流液膜振荡剧烈的原因;搅拌流内,大振幅界面波波形符合正态分布函数特征,且波幅较环状流内扰动波波幅大,但是波幅和波长变化趋势与环状流内扰动波变化趋势相似,即波幅和波长随着气速的增大而减小,随液量的增大而增大,且当气速较小时,临界波幅随着液量的增加逐渐趋于定值;而大振幅界面波平均产生频率随气速和液速的增大而增大。     

Topological Studies of Three-dimensional Flows in a High Pressure Compressor Stator Blade Row without and with Boundary Layer Aspiration

This paper presents a numerical study of the flow topologies of three-dimensional (3D) flows in a high pressure compressor stator blade row without and with boundary layer aspiration on the hub wall. The stator blade is representative of the first stage operating under transonic inlet conditions and the blade design encourages development of highly complex 3D flows. The blade has a small tip clearance. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies show progressive increase of hub corner stall with the increase in incidence. Aspiration is implemented on the hub wall via a slot in the corner between the hub wall and the suction surface. The CFD studies show aspiration to be sensitive to the suction flow rate; lower rate leads to very complex flow structures and increased level of losses whereas higher rate renders aspiration effective for control of hub corner separation. The flow topologies are studied by trace of skin friction lines on the walls. The nature of flow can be explained by the topological rules of closed separation. Furthermore, a deeper analysis is done for a particular case with advanced criterion to test the non-degeneracy of critical points in the flow field.     

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON SWIRLING AND RECIRCULATING TWO-PHASE FLOW FIELD IN A COLD MODEL OF DUAL-INLET SUDDEN-EXPANSION COMBUSTOR

The axial and tangential velocities of gas and particle phases and particle concentration for turbulent swirling and recirculating gas-particle (simulating gas-droplet) flows in a cold model of a dual-inlet sudden-expansion combustor with partially tangential central tubes, proposed by the present authors, were measured by using a 2-D LDV system and a laser optic fiber system combined with a sampling probe. The results show that there are both gas and particle strongly reverse flows and swirling flows in the head part of the combustor. The velocity slip between gas and particle phases is remarkable. The particle concentration is higher near the wall and lower near the axis. There are two peaks in the concentration profiles near the inlet tubes. The above-obtained flow characteristics are favorable to ignition, flame stabilization and combustion. The results can also be used to validate the numerical modeling.     

扑动翼型的低雷诺数气动特性分析

通过求解引入拟压缩项的不可压Navier-Stokes方程,数值模拟了绕扑动翼型的低雷诺数非定常流动。针对厚度在4%-12%之间的NACA对称翼型,分析了翼型厚度等参数对扑动翼型气动特性的影响。在低雷诺数条件下,对于纯俯仰运动,随着翼型厚度的减小,平均阻力系数也变小。而对于纯沉浮运动,发现翼型厚度对气动特性的影响和俯仰运动有很大的差别,平均阻力系数随着翼型厚度的减小而变大。通过对沉浮运动一个周期流线图的分析,认为这是翼型前缘涡的影响造成的。由于前缘涡的影响,翼型厚度增加,平均压差阻力系数变小,甚至会出现负值。雷诺数的影响研究表明,随着雷诺数的增加,扑动翼型的阻力系数减小的趋势越缓慢。
