Passive attitude stabilization of ionic-wind-powered micro air vehicles

The ionic-wind-powered Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) can achieve a higher thrust-to-weight ratio than other MAVs. However, this kind of MAV has not yet achieved controlled flight because of the unstable thrust produced by the ionic wind and the dynamic instability related to the small size. In this paper, a passive attitude stabilization method of the ionic-wind-powered MAV using air dampers is introduced. The key factors that influence the performance of the air dampers, including the layout, position, and area of the air dampers, are theoretically studied. The appropriate optimal position of the air dampers is also obtained by Monte Carlo stochastic simulations. Then the proposed passive attitude stabilization method is applied to the ionic-wind-powered MAVs of different wingspan (2 cm and 6.3 cm). Finally, the experimental results show that using the proposed method, attitude stabilization is achieved for the first time for the ionic-wind-powered MAV. Moreover, the altitude control of an ionic-wind-powered MAV with a wingspan of 6.3 cm is also demonstrated.

启动过程压缩空气储能向心涡轮三维流动特性研究

为研究压缩空气储能系统的向心涡轮启动过程内部流动损失特性，本文采用全三维计算流体动力学（CFD）模型对其启动过程过程进行了数值模拟，与实验结果对比表明，虽然该模型在启动初始阶段与转速稳定阶段存在一定误差，但仍能够整体上反映启动过程的效率变化特征。在此基础上，进一步分析了启动过程中动叶通道内损失区及流场变化特征，结果发现，动叶进口攻角是影响内部流场主要因素：在启动初始阶段，叶轮进口攻角较大，动叶载荷集中在叶片前缘，形成明显的通道分离涡与前缘涡；在快速启动段，攻角减小，动叶载荷沿弦长分布更为均匀，通道分离涡及前缘涡逐渐减小并向叶片吸力面迁移。在整个启动阶段，动叶通道内高损失区也随着通道分离涡逐渐迁移且变小，并向相邻叶片吸力面集中。

Distortion minimization for multimedia transmission in NOMA HAP-UAV integrated aerial access networks

Aerial access networks have been envisioned as a promising 6G solution to enhance the ground communication systems in both coverage and capacity. To better utilize the spectrum and fully explore different channel characteristics, this paper constructs an integrated network comprising the High Altitude Platform (HAP) and Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) with the Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology. In order to improve the transmission quality of images and videos, a power management scheme is proposed to minimize the distortion of the transmissions from the HAP and UAVs to the terminals. The power control is formulated as a non-convex problem constrained by the maximal transmit power and the minimal terminal rate requirements. The variable substitution and the first-order Tailor’s expansion is used to transform it into a sequence of convex problems, which are subsequently solved through the gradient projection method. Simulation demonstrates the signal distortion and error rate improvement achieved by the proposed algorithm.     

Design and analysis of a novel hybrid cooling method of high-speed high-power permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance starter/generator in aviation applications

To improve the heat dissipation performance, this paper proposes a novel hybrid cooling method for high-speed high-power Permanent Magnet assisted Synchronous Reluctance Starter/Generator (PMaSynR S/G) in aerospace applications. The hybrid cooling structure with oil circulation in the housing, oil spray at winding ends and rotor end surface is firstly proposed for the PMaSynR S/G. Then the accurate loss calculation of the PMaSynR S/G is proposed, which includes air gap friction loss under oil spray cooling, copper loss, stator and rotor core loss, permanent magnet eddy current loss and bearing loss. The parameter sensitivity analysis of the hybrid cooling structure is proposed, while the equivalent thermal network model of the PMaSynR S/G is established considering the uneven spraying at the winding ends. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid cooling method is demonstrated on a 40 kW/24000 r/min PMaSynR S/G experimental platform.     

Vulnerability analysis of the Chinese coupled aviation and high-speed railway network

The integrated aviation and High-Speed Railway (HSR) transportation system plays a vital role for today’s inter-city transportation services. However, an increasing number of unexpected disruptions (such as operation failures, natural disasters, or intentional attacks) pose a considerable threat to the normal operation of the system, especially on ground transfer, leading to the extensive research on its vulnerability. Previous approaches mainly focus on interruptions within a single transportation mode, neglecting the role of ground transfer which serves as a coupled connection between aviation and High-Speed Railway. This paper proposes a network-based framework for evaluating the vulnerability of the Chinese Coupled Aviation and High-Speed Railway (CAHSR) network from the viewpoint of ground transfer interruption. Taking the end-to-end travel time and passenger flow information into consideration as an evaluation measure and analyzing from the perspective of urban agglomerations, an adaptive method is developed to identify the critical cities and further investigate their failure impacts on the geographic distribution of vulnerability. In addition, the proposed model explores variations of vulnerability under different failure time intervals. Based on the empirical study, some major conclusions are highlighted as follows: (A) Only a few cities show significant impacts on the network’s vulnerability when ground transfer interruptions occurred. (B) The distribution of vulnerability is not proportional to the distance between failure city and influenced city. (C) The vulnerability is more serious in the morning and evening when the ground transfer is disconnected. Our findings may provide new insights for maintenance and optimization of the CAHSR network and other real-world transportation networks.
