Phase Space Density Analysis of Energy Transport in the Earth’s Magnetotail

Two energetic events in the Earth’s magnetotail detected by Geotail are examined with detailed analysis of three-dimensional velocity phase space density. It is found that the occurrence of multiple ion components is high during these dynamic episodes. Different populations evolve independently of each other, suggesting particles from multiple activity sites contributing to the observed phase space density. The transport properties with consideration of multiple components are evaluated, with the result showing significant differences from those based on a single fluid approach. This comparison indicates that precise evaluation of the energy and magnetic flux transport of energetic events in the magnetotail requires resolving individual populations in the phase space density.

Variations of the magnetic fields in large solar flares

We present preliminary results from high resolution observations obtained with the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument on the SOHO of two large solar flares of 14 July 2000 and 24 November 2000. We show that rapid variations of the line-of-sight magnetic field occured on a time scale of a few minutes during the flare explosions. The reversibility/irreversibility of the magnetic field of both active regions is a very good tool for understanding how the magnetic energy is released in these flares. The observed sharp increase of the magnetic energy density at the time of maximum of the solar flare could involve an unknown component which deposited supplementary energy into the system. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

磁制动对地壳板块运动影响的理论分析与实证研究

太阳和木星的自转是不均匀的，纬度愈高，自转愈慢。据此，作者推测液态外地核的自转，也存在类似的不均匀性，而这种不均匀自转将对地壳板块运动产生影响。利用磁流体力学理论，阐明这类星球自转的不均匀性，是磁制动的不均匀性引起的。研究了磁制动对地壳板块运动影响的途径及表现方式，并举出实例证明这些表现方式的确存在，从而证明磁制动是影响地壳板块运动的一个极为重要的因素。     

关于三维Navier－Stokes方程的粘性项计算

借助于张量分析和张量计算，在贴体曲线坐标系下本文讨论了不同求解变量导致了粘性项个数上的重大差异和不同大小的计算量，并提出了便于粘性计算的最佳形式。文中借助于有限体积离散技术，通过引进两个对称辅助矩阵［Ａ］和［Ｂ］，使粘性项的计算量大大减少，这对完成三维粘性流的数值计算具有重要的指导意义。借助于上述方法，本文完成了某型真实进气道两种工况的三维粘性Ｎａｖｉｅｒ－Ｓｔｏｋｅｓ方程计算（即Ｍ∞＝３．０，α＝０°和设计工况Ｍ∞＝２．６５，α＝０°），获得了满意的全场结果；对于Ｍ∞＝２．６５的设计工况，同实验数据作了比较，符合良好。由于本文的方法明显的减少了粘性项的计算量且节省了大量内存，以致于使三维流场的Ｎ－Ｓ求解能在普通微机上进行。     

The characteristics of sharp (small-scale) boundaries of solar wind plasma and magnetic field structures

We investigate properties of large (>20%) and sharp (<10 min) solar wind ion flux changes using INTERBALL-1 and WIND plasma and magnetic field measurements from 1996 to 1999. These ion flux changes are the boundaries of small-scale and middle-scale solar wind structures. We describe the behavior of the solar wind velocity, temperature and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) during these sudden flux changes. Many of the largest ion flux changes occur during periods when the solar wind velocity is nearly constant, so these are mainly plasma density changes. The IMF magnitude and direction changes at these events can be either large or small. For about 55% of the ion flux changes, the sum of the thermal and magnetic pressure are in balance across the boundary. In many of the other cases, the thermal pressure change is significantly more than the magnetic pressure change. We also attempted to classify the types of discontinuities observed.     

DME Interference mitigation for L-DACS1 based on system identification and sparse representation

L-band digital aeronautical communication system 1 (L-DACS1) is a promising candi-date data-link for future air-ground communication, but it is severely interfered by the pulse pairs (PPs) generated by distance measure equipment. A novel PP mitigation approach is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a deformed PP detection (DPPD) method that combines a filter bank, correlation detection, and rescanning is proposed to detect the deformed PPs (DPPs) which are caused by mul-tiple filters in the receiver. Secondly, a finite impulse response (FIR) model is used to approximate the overall characteristic of filters, and then the waveform of DPP can be acquired by the original waveform of PP and the FIR model. Finally, sparse representation is used to estimate the position and amplitude of each DPP, and then reconstruct each DPP. The reconstructed DPPs will be sub-tracted from the contaminated signal to mitigate interference. Numerical experiments show that the bit error rate performance of our approach is about 5 dB better than that of recent works and is closer to interference-free environment.     

Numerical investigation on flow nonuniformity-induced hysteresis in scramjet isolator

Numerical simulation and theoretical analysis were conducted to study the hysteresis inside scramjet isolator during the reciprocating process of back pressure variation. It is revealed that only a regular reflection is theoretically possible for two leading shocks when the inflow Mach number is greater than 2.0, and no hysteresis can occur in the transition between shock reflection types. Nevertheless, wall suction, gas injection, and background waves cause non-uniformity of the incoming flow and would make hysteresis possible. Besides the classical hysteresis in the transition between shock reflection, new kinds of hysteresis were found in both the deflection angle of separated boundary layer and the location of the shock train. Moreover, the occurrence of hysteresis in the deflection angle of the separated boundary layer is accompanied with the shock reflection hysteresis. In the case with background waves or gas injection, hysteresis in the starting position of leading shock was observed too. As back pressure decreases, the leading shock does not follow the same path as that as the back pressure increases, and it is anchored at the location where the background shock or the injection interacts with the leading shock. It is inferred that, if two strong adverse pressure gradient regions move towards and interact with each other, hysteresis will take place when they start to separate.

针对FeCo-2V-0.5Cr软磁合金,研究了真空热处理时间对其微观组织结构、力学与磁学性能的影响规律,发现在800℃下热处理时间为2h左右时,合金的抗拉强度和延伸率达到最佳,同时仍保持良好的软磁性能,抗拉强度、延伸率以及矫顽力分别为867.8MPa、10.4%以及2.0Oe。进一步对该合金进行附加磁场下的真空热处理,重点研究了合金的交流损耗与矫顽力随附加磁场方式包括磁场撤除温度与磁场下保温时间的变化规律,发现适当的磁场热处理对合金相关力学性能影响不大,但由于合金中产生了单轴各向异性而使合金矫顽力进一步降至1.6Oe。     

Semi-stochastic modification of second-order radial derivative of Abel–Poisson’s formula for validating satellite gravity gradiometry data

The geoid can be used to validate the satellite gravity gradiometry data. Validation of such data is important prior to their downward continuation because of amplification of the data errors through this process. In this paper, the second-order radial derivative of Abel–Poisson’s formula is modified stochastically to reduce the effect of the far-zone geoid and generate the second-order radial derivative of geopotential at 250 km level. The numerical studies over Fennoscandia show that this method yields the gradients with an error of 10 mE and when the long wavelength of geoid is removed from the estimator and restored after the computations (remove–compute–restore) the error will be in 1 mE level. We name this method semi-stochastic modification. The best case scenario is found when the degree of modification of the integral formula is 200 and the long wavelength geoid to degree 100 is removed and restored. In this case the geoid should have a resolution of 15′ × 15′ and the integration should be performed over a cap size of 3°.
