Hydro-geomorphic characteristics of the Indian (Peninsular) catchments: Based on morphometric correlation with hydro-sedimentary data

In terms of hydro-geomorphic characteristics, catchments in Peninsular India remained mostly unexplored except a few regional and local works that deal with tectonic, structural and paleo-climatic control on geomorphology. Catchment scale morphometric analyses deliver insights into dynamics, erosion capacity, probability of flood occurrence, lithological and structural control, and genetic response to the tectonics. The present study aimed to comprehend hydro-geomorphic characteristics of 12 major catchments in Peninsular India through GIS-based morphometric analysis. A total of 25 morphometric parameters were computed and several statistical analyses performed in establishing inter-correlation and classification of Indian rivers. Most of the rivers in Peninsular India were found 7th to 9th order catchments. Almost all basins showed a moderate relief ratio, hypsometric integral, ruggedness etc. Cauvery, Baitarni, and Brahmani showed exceptionally steeper gradient, high relief ratio, LS factor, and ruggedness index, which indicated higher erosion potential. Correlation among landscape variables revealed moderate scale dependency of few relief factors. Baitarni, Brahmani and Narmada showed higher hypsometric integral. A strong positive association between hypsometric integral and sediment yield suggested critically high erosion potential in catchments with high integral values. The present study provides some generic insights into the hydro-geomorphic characteristics with dissimilarity in lithology in Peninsular Indian catchments as a whole.     

2001年9月15日Cluster卫星对电流片的观测研究

2001年9月15日0430-0515 UT期间,Cluster卫星多次穿越磁尾电流片.由FGM、CIS等仪器获得了电流片磁场,粒子速度等数据变化情况,并得到了磁尾高速流的两次明显反转.本文采用GSM坐标系.利用求磁场空间梯度张量的方法获得了越尾电流,其电流密度的峰值为28nA/m2.并对电流片在垂直方向上的摆动和在晨昏方向的波动现象进行了分析.数据显示此时电流片为薄电流片并有一个变薄的趋势,其厚度大约为0.2-0.3 Re.磁场重联时地向流与尾向流均超过了1000 km/s,并测得了电流片的法线方向和运动速度,从而得到了磁尾电流片的结构和运动情况.      

空海自组网随机接入仿真研究

针对无人机在远海远域协同任务过程中的空海信息协同共享需求,提出了一种基于优先级传输的动态随机接入协议。首先,通过设计高效集群组网信令保证集群测控通信自组网的遥测、遥控信息的稳定传输;然后,结合改进的TDMA （时分多址）组网时隙结构实现节点快速入网与动态时隙分配协议;最后,通过OPNET （网络仿真技术软件包）分析所设计的集群空海自组网系统的随机接入低时延、业务传输高吞吐量和端到端传输低时延性能。结果表明：该组网信令下建网时间只需要2～3个飞控周期,在32节点场景下节点完成随机Aloha入网时延平均不到0.6 s,改进的TDMA协议在端到端时延比传统TDMA协议降低1/3。     

Furthering our understanding of electrostatic solitary waves through Cluster multispacecraft observations and theory

Nonlinear isolated electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) are observed routinely at many of Earth’s major boundaries by the Wideband Data (WBD) plasma wave receivers that are mounted on the four Cluster satellites. The current study discusses two aspects of ESWs: their characteristics in the magnetosheath, and their propagation in the magnetosheath and in the auroral acceleration (upward current) region. The characteristics (amplitude and time duration) of ESWs detected in the magnetosheath are presented for one case in which special mutual impedance tests were conducted allowing for the determination of the density and temperature of the hot and cold electrons. These electron parameters, together with those from the ion experiment, were used as inputs to an electron acoustic soliton model as a consideration for the generation of the observed ESWs. The results from this model showed that negative potential ESWs of a few Debye lengths (10–50 m) could be generated in this plasma. Other models of ESW generation are discussed, including beam instabilities and spontaneous generation out of turbulence. The results of two types of ESW propagation (in situ and remote sensing) studies are also presented. The first involves the propagation of bipolar type ESWs from one Cluster spacecraft to another in the magnetosheath, thus obtaining the velocity and size of the solitary structures. The structures were found to be very flat, with large scale perpendicular to the magnetic field (>40 km) and small scale parallel to the field (<1 km). These results were then discussed in terms of various models which predict such flat structures to be generated. The second type of propagation study uses striated Auroral Kilometric Radiation (SAKR) bursts, observed on multiple Cluster satellites, as tracers of ion solitary waves in the upward current region. The results of all studies discussed here (pulse characteristics and ESW velocity, lifetime, and size) are compared to in situ measurements previously made on one spacecraft and to theoretical predictions for these quantities, where available. The primary conclusion drawn from the propagation studies is that the multiple spacecraft technique allows us to better assess the stability (lifetime) of ESWs, which can be as large as a few seconds, than can be achieved with single satellites.     

分离模块异构航天器集群松散队形设计

针对近地轨道分离模块航天器集群,考虑航天器之间面质比差异,提出一种能在较长时间内维持两星之间相对距离的松散队形设计方法。该方法以相对偏心率向量和相对轨道倾角向量描述松散队形,以两颗卫星之间的轨道长半轴之差和相对相位角之差为优化变量,并且通过设置虚拟空间圆解决避碰问题,保证在考虑气动力摄动的情况下,异构航天器松散编队能够有较长时间满足距离要求。仿真研究表明,针对轨道高度为500 km的参考轨道,当两星面质比分别为0.003 m 2/kg和0.0032 m 2/kg时,两颗卫星之间的距离能够在50天内处于200 m到20 km之间。     

TC-1和Cluster对向阳侧磁层顶通量传输事件的联合观测研究

2004年2至4月期间,探测一号(TC-1)卫星和Cluster卫星有25次同时处在向阳侧磁层顶附近的磁鞘内,TC-1卫星在低纬区,Cluster卫星在中高纬区.利用这一期间两卫星探测到的27个通量传输事件(FTE),分析行星际磁场(IMF)横向分量BT={By,Bz}对磁层顶重联发生位置的影响,以及分量重联的观测事实,得到如下主要结果.(1)当IMF南向分量Bz占优势(|Bz|＞|By|)时,FTE大多(约占87.5%)能在低纬观测到,而当IMF By分量占优势(|Bz|＜|By|)时,则FTE大部分能在中高纬观测到(占84.2%);(2)很少观测到相关联的事件(关联事件指在低纬生成的FTE,向高纬运动中先后被TC-1卫星和Cluster卫星探测到的事件),表明在低纬形成的FTE可能大多沿磁层顶两侧滑向磁尾,只有少数可能运动到高纬地区;(3)中纬地区探测到的FTE大多是以分量重联方式产生于该区,而非来自磁赤道附近成对形成的FTE.      

基于亲和传播算法的车辆自组织网络分簇组网方法

随着5G通信和自动驾驶汽车的发展，车辆自组织网络VANET（Vehicular Ad Hoc Network）作为一种新型的移动自组织网络，因其在改善道路安全、为驾驶员和乘客提供便利方面的潜力，而引起学术界和工业界的广泛关注。它可以通过提供交通流量、事故通知、危险警告、可能存在的定位偏差、天气等信息来增强道路安全，从而提高交通效率。由于车辆的高速移动会经常引起网络拓扑中断，因此一个设计良好的路由协议至关重要。提出了一种适用于车辆自组织网络环境的基于分簇的路由协议，设计并实现了一种基于亲和传播算法的分簇组网模型V-APC（VANET-Affinity Propagation Clustering）。通过重新定义亲和传播算法的相似函数，设计了簇头的选择过程、簇的形成过程还有簇的维护过程。结果表明：采用上述方法形成的簇，在簇内的通信性能和簇稳定性方面具有显著优势，使得该协议在路由延迟和数据包转发成功率方面表现优异。     

An architecture decomposition method of pneumatic catapult system based on OPM and DSM

The architecture strategy of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) pneumatic launch system should continue to evolve to adapt to complex and variable operating environments. Architecture representation, decomposition perspective, and cluster analysis play a vital role in the early phase of system architecture development. In order for the system to emerge anticipated and desirable intrinsic functional properties, an architecture decomposition method based on the Object-Process Methodology (OPM) and Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is put forward in this paper. The OPM is proposed to model the UAV launch process formally, and the matrix representation of the architecture of the pneumatic launch system is established. After the extension of the definition and operations of DSM, with the Idicula-Gutierrez-Thebeau Algorithm plus (IGTA + ) clustering algorithm, the transformation of the pneumatic launch system architecture from process decomposition to function decomposition is demonstrated in this paper. The analysis shows that the architecture decomposition of the pneumatic launch system meets the functional requirements of stakeholders.
