Review on latest progress on supergiant fast X-ray transients and future direction

In the recent years, the discovery of a new class of Galactic transients with fast and bright flaring X-ray activity, the supergiant fast X-ray transients, has completely changed our view and comprehension of massive X-ray binaries. These objects display X-ray outbursts which are difficult to be explained in the framework of standard theories for the accretion of matter onto compact objects, and could represent a dominant population of X-ray binaries. I will review their main observational properties (neutron star magnetic field, orbital and spin period, long term behavior, duty cycle, quiescence and outburst emission), which pose serious problems to the main mechanisms recently proposed to explain their X-ray behavior. I will discuss both present results and future perspectives with the next generation of X-ray telescopes.     

积冰几何特性对翼型性能影响的神经网络预测

积冰几何形状对翼型气动系数的影响是复杂的.采用BP(Back Propagation)神经网络的LM(Levenberg-Marguardt)学习算法,建立明冰的典型几何特性(冰角前缘半径、冰角高度和冰角位置)对翼型气动系数影响的神经网络,得到该3种几何参数对气动系数影响的规律;建立了典型冰形参数对最大升力系数影响的神经网络,该网络能很好的预测冰形参数对应的最大升力系数值;此外,建立了冰型位置对舵面铰链力矩系数影响的神经网络.仿真结果表明,BP神经网络仿真结果与实验值具有高度一致性,并能预测非实验值条件下的气动系数;翼型表面积冰位置变化对气动系数影响最大;铰链力矩系数在失速迎角达到之前就发生突变,可以更安全地用来预测失速的发生.      

Composite profile of the Fe Kα spectral line emitted from a binary system of supermassive black holes

We used a model of a relativistic accretion disk around a supermassive black hole (SMBH), based on ray-tracing method in the Kerr metric, to study the variations of the composite Fe Kα line emitted from two accretion disks around SMBHs in a binary system. We assumed that the orbit of such a binary is approximately Keplerian, and simulated the composite line shapes for different orbital elements, accretion disk parameters and mass ratios of the components. The obtained results show that, if observed in the spectra of some SMBH binaries during their different orbital phases, such composite Fe Kα line profiles could be used to constrain the orbits and several properties of such SMBH binaries.     

机翼防冰过程中冰脊问题的数值分析

对机翼防冰过程中冰脊的形成特点及冰脊对机翼气动特性的影响进行了计算分析.基于经典的Messinger结冰模型开发了多步结冰程序,对不同条件下过冷水滴的撞击结冰进行了热质耦合计算,计算结果和文献试验结果吻合较好,表明该热质耦合算法的正确性.在此基础上对不同环境温度、飞行速度和不同加热功率等条件下冰脊的生长特点和机翼的气动特性进行了计算分析.结果表明:在非霜冰条件下,冰脊主要在热防护极限外并紧挨着热防护极限的位置处形成和发展,而在霜冰条件下,冰脊主要在机翼下表面形成,但是在热防护区域内有显著的结冰出现,该条件下的结冰对机翼的气动特性具有较大的破坏性.     

MHD Spectroscopy of Transonic Flows

In previous publications (Keppens et al.: 2002, Astrophys. J. 569, L121; Goedbloed et al.: 2004a, Phys. Plasmas 11, 28), we have demonstrated that stationary rotation of magnetized plasma about a compact central object permits an enormous number of different MHD instabilities, with the well-known magneto-rotational instability (Velikhov, E. P.: 1959, Soviet Phys.–JETP Lett. 36, 995; Chandrasekhar, S.: 1960, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 46, 253; Balbus, S. A. and Hawley, J. F.: 1991, Astrophys. J. 376, 214) as just one of them. We here concentrate on the new instabilities found that are driven by transonic transitions of the poloidal flow. A particularly promising class of instabilities, from the point of view of MHD turbulence in accretion disks, is the class of trans-slow Alfv’en continuum modes, that occur when the poloidal flow exceeds a critical value of the slow magnetosonic speed. When this happens, virtually every magnetic/flow surface of the disk becomes unstable with respect to highly localized modes of the continuous spectrum. The mode structures rotate, in turn, about the rotating disk. These structures lock and become explosively unstable when the mass of the central object is increased beyond a certain critical value. Their growth rates then become huge, of the order of the Alfv’en transit time. These instabilities appear to have all requisite properties to facilitate accretion flows across magnetic surfaces and jet formation.     

Experimental study of ice accretion effects on aerodynamic performance of an NACA 23012 airfoil

In this paper,the effects of icing on an NACA 23012 airfoil have been studied.Experiments were applied on the clean airfoil,runback ice,horn ice,and spanwise ridge ice at a Reynolds number of 0.6 106 over angles of attack from 8° to 20°,and then results are compared.Generally,it is found that ice accretion on the airfoil can contribute to formation of a flow separation bubble on the upper surface downstream from the leading edge.In addition,it is made clear that spanwise ridge ice provides the greatest negative effect on the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil.In this case,the stall angle drops about 10° and the maximum lift coefficient reduces about50% which is hazardous for an airplane.While horn ice leads to a stall angle drop of about 4° and a maximum lift coefficient reduction to 21%,runback ice has the least effect on the flow pattern around the airfoil and the aerodynamic coefficients so as the stall angle decreases 2° and the maximum lift reduces about 8%.
