前缘水平投影可控的乘波体设计方法研究

结合流线追踪技术和密切面混合函数提出了一种前缘水平投影可控的乘波体设计方法,并完成了前缘水平投影为超椭圆的乘波体(Waverider-F)和超椭圆前缘转超椭圆后缘的乘波体(Waverider-FT)设计。二者具有较高的容积效率,前缘对应的轴向投影近似为余弦曲线。通过数值仿真验证了设计方法的有效性,设计点时Waverider-F的乘波特性良好且保持了基准流场的特点,Waverider-FT前部完全乘波,后部两侧诱导激波使流场变形且形成高压区,接力点时二者的乘波特性也较好。另外,二者具有较高的升阻比和预压缩效率,设计点时无粘升阻比分别为3.46和2.88。与Waverider-F相比,Waverider-FT的升力、阻力和出口增压比都明显增加,而升阻比、俯仰力矩和出口总压恢复系数降低。有粘条件下,设计点的升阻比由2.91降为2.41,对应的出口总压恢复系数降低了5.8%。

Ionospheric differential error determination using ray tracing for a short baseline

Since the United States government discontinued Selective Availability (SA) on 1 May 2000, ionospheric effects have been responsible for the largest errors in GPS systems. The standard Differential GPS (DGPS) method is incapable of completely eliminating the ionospheric error. This paper describes a new approach to determine the differential ionospheric error between geographically distributed receiver stations. The ray paths of GPS signals were simulated using a modified Jones 3D ray tracing programme that includes the effect of the geomagnetic field. A Nelder–Mead optimisation algorithm was embedded in the program to precisely determine the satellite-to-station path. A realistic ionospheric model is essential for accurate ray tracing results and for estimates of differential error that are accurate on sub-centimetre scales. Here, the ionospheric model used in the ray tracing programme was developed by fitting realistic ionosphere profiles with a number of exponential functions. Results were compared to the theoretical approach. Results show that the differential delay is about 1–5 cm at low elevation angles for a short baseline of 10 km, as reported in other literature. This delay is often neglected in DGPS application. The differential delay also shows a pattern similar to that predicted by the Klobuchar model. The method proposed here can be used to improve future GPS applications.     

磁扰期间的三维漂移壳分离

基于磁层粒子动力学理论,首先对比了计算漂移壳分离的引导中心法和磁力线追踪法,计算表明两种方法的计算结果一致.然后分别采用T89c和T96磁层磁场模式,用磁力线追踪法数值计算了不同初始位置(≤9Re)、不同初始投掷角、不同Kp指数和不同太阳风压力下,带电粒子的漂移壳分离.计算结果揭示了漂移壳分离随初始位置、投掷角、Kp指数和太阳风压力的变化.其具体特征如下. (1)随着径向距离的增大,漂移壳分离效应愈加显著,由正午出发的粒子将被稳定捕获,而午夜出发的径向距离≥7Re的部分大投掷角粒子将沿磁层顶逃逸. (2)正午出发的粒子,漂移到午夜时其漂移壳随投掷角减小向外排列;午夜出发的粒子,漂移到正午时其漂移壳随投掷角增大排列; 90°投掷角粒子在磁赤道面的漂移壳沿着磁场等值线排列. (3)漂移壳分离随Kp指数和太阳风压力增大变得显著,且随这两种扰动参数的变化特征和趋势是基本相似的.      

A method to test HF ray tracing algorithm in the ionosphere by means of the virtual time delay

It is well known that a 3D ray tracing algorithm furnishes the ray’s coordinates, the three components of the wave vector and the calculated group time delay of the wave along the path. The latter quantity can be compared with the measured group time delay to check the performance of the algorithm. Simulating a perfect reflector at an altitude equal to the virtual height of reflection, the virtual time delay is assumed as a real time delay. For a monotonic electronic density profile we find a very small relative difference between the calculated and the virtual delay for both analytic and numerical 3D electronic density models.     

Studying characteristics of traveling ionospheric disturbances using U-shaped traces on vertical incidence ionograms

This paper presents a case study when due to the descending additional U-shaped trace on vertical incidence ionograms, increased critical frequency stabilizes. This corresponds to an ionospheric disturbance that moves toward the ionosonde and then stays overhead.Within a 2D model, traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) are superimposed on the inverted background ionosphere. So ray tracing is used to obtain propagation paths through non-stratified ionosphere thus synthesizing the disturbed ionogram traces. Investigated are changes in the cusp shape caused by varying TID parameters. A cusp-fitting method to determine the TID amplitude, spatial scale, and horizontal drift velocity are shown.     

Research on the disturbance of ballistic missile to ionosphere by using 3D ray tracing method

This study uses the 3D ray tracing to analyse ionospheric disturbance generated by a ballistic missile plume (which was simulated in our previous work). Ray tracing results show that the 6 MHz radio waves are completely reflected by the ionosphere and cannot reach the ionospheric disturbance zone. The 8 MHz radio waves partially penetrate the ionospheric disturbance zone, producing a focusing effect. Most of the 10 MHz radio waves pass through the ionosphere and the disturbance zone. The focusing effect and focus height are reduced. In the height range 65̃400 km, the ray absorption loss of reflection is greater than the transmitted ray. When the ray is reflected multiple times in the cavity formed by the plume, ray absorption loss greatly increases.
