边界形状影响等离子体射流扩展特性的实验研究

为了探索燃烧室边界形状在控制燃烧稳定性方面的特性,设计了圆柱型和圆柱渐扩型充液室,运用高速录像系统研究了等离子体射流在充液室中的扩展过程。结果表明：等离子体射流在液体工质中扩展时,等离子体一液体两相流体速度差较大,TaylorHelmh01tz不稳定效应强烈,圆柱型充液室中,Taylor空腔界面自由,界面增长随机脉动性较大;渐扩型充液室能够使两相流边界受到约束,使Taylor空腔沿着充液室边界逐级扩展,从而减弱了Taylor-Helmholtz不稳定效应,有效抑制了界面增长的随机脉动性。放电电压、喷嘴直径和渐扩结构因子△D／L对Taylor空腔扩展过程均有不同程度的影响,通过对这些参数的优化匹配,可以在一定程度上实现对射流扩展过程的控制。     

Porous Alumina Ceramics Fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering

Porous alumina of regular spherical particles was fabricated with the spark plasma sintering (SPS) and then compared to those ob-tained through conventional hot pressing (HP). The effects of the parameters of the heating process on porosity were also investigated. Microstructural studies suggest that porous ingots including regular pores be made out of regular spherical alumina particles due to the close sphere packages. A comparative study on the relative necks of the specimens produced by SPS and HP indicates an enhancement of neck growth with SPS. Contrasting the theoretical values to the experimental results over the relative necks indicates that a proper relationship between the relative necks and the porosity can be established by a sintering model.

Theory and Simulation of Reconnection

Reconnection is a major commonality of solar and magnetospheric physics. It was conjectured by Giovanelli in 1946 to explain particle acceleration in solar flares near magnetic neutral points. Since than it has been broadly applied in space physics including magnetospheric physics. In a special way this is due to Harry Petschek, who in 1994 published his ground breaking solution for a 2D magnetized plasma flow in regions containing singularities of vanishing magnetic field. Petschek’s reconnection theory was questioned in endless disputes and arguments, but his work stimulated the further investigation of this phenomenon like no other. However, there are questions left open. We consider two of them – “anomalous” resistivity in collisionless space plasma and the nature of reconnection in three dimensions. The CLUSTER and SOHO missions address these two aspects of reconnection in a complementary way -- the resistivity problem in situ in the magnetosphere and the 3D aspect by remote sensing of the Sun. We demonstrate that the search for answers to both questions leads beyond the applicability of analytical theories and that appropriate numerical approaches are necessary to investigate the essentially nonlinear and nonlocal processes involved. Necessary are both micro-physical, kinetic Vlasov-equation based methods of investigation as well as large scale (MHD) simulations to obtain the geometry and topology of the acting fields and flows.

Magnetospheric turbulence and properties of magnetospheric dynamics

High level of turbulence is one of the main peculiarities inherent to magnetospheric dynamics. Mechanisms for generation of magnetospheric turbulence are analyzed. The instabilities in the plasma pressure distribution are examined as source of large and medium scale modes in the turbulence spectra. Large-scale modes (which scales are comparable with scale of the magnetosphere) lead to convective transport of the magnetospheric particles. Excitation of such modes is analyzed being based on the suggestion of the existence of week instability in the distribution of plasma pressure.
