An adaptive fast fixed-time guidance law with an impact angle constraint for intercepting maneuvering targets

Sliding mode guidance laws based on a conventional terminal sliding mode guarantees only finite-time convergence, which verifies that the settling time is required to be estimated by selecting appropriate initial launched conditions. However, rapid convergence to a desired impact angle within a uniform bounded finite time is important in most practical guidance applications. A uniformly finite-time/fixed-time convergent guidance law means that the convergence (settling) time is predefined independently on initial conditions, that is, a closed-loop convergence time can be estimated a priori by guidance parameters. In this paper, a novel adaptive fast fixed-time sliding mode guidance law to intercept maneuver targets at a desired impact angle from any initial heading angle, with no problems of singularity and chattering, is designed. The proposed guidance law achieves system stabilization within bounded settling time independent on initial conditions and achieves more rapid convergence than those of fixed-time stable control methods by accelerating the convergence rate when the system is close to the origin. The achieved acceleration-magnitude constraints are rigorously enforced, and the chattering-free property is guaranteed by adaptive switching gains. Extensive numerical simulations are presented to validate the efficiency and superiority of the proposed guidance law for different initial engagement geometries and impact angles.     

Robust adaptive fault-tolerant control of a tandem coaxial ducted fan aircraft with actuator saturation

This paper is concerned with the robust adaptive fault-tolerant control of a tandem coaxial ducted fan aircraft under system uncertainty, mismatched disturbance, and actuator saturation. For the proposed aircraft, comprehensive controllability analysis is performed to evaluate the controllability of each state as well as the margin to reject mismatched disturbance without any knowledge of the controller. Mismatched disturbance attenuation is ensured through a structured H-infinity controller tuned by a non-smooth optimization algorithm. Embedded with the H-infinity controller, an adaptive control law is proposed in order to mitigate matched system uncertainty and actuator fault. Input saturation is also considered by the modified reference model. Numerical simulation of the novel ducted fan aircraft is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulation results reveal that the proposed adaptive controller achieves better transient response and more robust performance than classic Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) method, even with serious actuator saturation.     

Envelope protection for aircraft encountering upset condition based on dynamic envelope enlargement

Upset condition encountered by an aircraft in flight could pose great threat to flight safety, which is of chief importance in civil aviation. The causal factors have the nonlinear and multiple characteristics, and as a result the conventional envelope protection system cannot successfully do with the condition. So dynamic envelope based on differential manifold theory, which can take more coupling factors into account, is proposed as a basis to design a novel envelope protection system. Then the relationship between the dynamic envelope and the control coefficient or pilot command is obtained, and the result shows that the dynamic envelope can be enlarged with the change of control coefficient. Furthermore, quantification of flight security is realized via defining relative distance between flight state and dynamic envelope, which can detect whether there is a risk for an aircraft in flight. Finally, an envelope protection system based on dynamic envelope enlargement is proposed on the basis. NASA’s Generic Transport Model encountering hazard gust wind in climbing phase is taken as an example to verify the system’s feasibility. The result shows that the system can give a better operation encountering upset condition and to a certain extent reduce the number of accidents or incidents.     

变攻角下被动射流旋涡对高速扩压叶栅性能的影响

对被动射流旋涡(PJV)控制高速扩压叶栅内的流动分离控制展开数值研究,并探究其在变工况条件下的适应特性。结果表明,PJV在设计攻角下可使叶栅总压损失系数降低5.2%,变攻角条件下的损失降低幅度最高可达7.8%,表明其具有较高的控制效率和良好的变工况适应特性。随着攻角的增大,吸力面分离位置提前,射流出口与分离区间的距离减小,PJV能够更为有效地促进附面层内低能流体与主流间的动量交换,使得壁面涡结构得到重新组织,并进一步影响通道涡、集中脱落涡等涡系结构的发展,从而推迟流动分离、减小损失。在综合考虑变攻角流场特性的前提下,应使PJV的作用位置位于分离区上游不远处,所研究的最佳射流位置位于叶片前缘上游40%轴向弦长处。

盖板式预旋系统的压比和熵增特性

对预旋系统内的压力变化相关研究较少。基于理论分析、实验测量以及数值计算,对某盖板式预旋系统的压比及熵增特性进行研究。通过理论推导,对预旋系统内压比与无量纲温降的关系进行分析。在最高转速可达10000r/min的高转速实验台上,测量了转盘上的气流静压以及相对总温,进而获得压比及熵增特性。进行三维数值计算,将数值计算结果与实验结果进行了对比,并根据数值计算结果对预旋系统内的熵产分布以及各元件的熵增情况进行分析。结果表明:系统温降以及旋转马赫数大小决定了预旋系统的理想最大压比,而实际压比与理想压比的比值取决于系统内的熵增大小。采用数值计算以及实验测量所得结果对理论关系式进行了验证,最大偏差2.7%。旋转马赫数一定的条件下,随系统无量纲温降增大,系统压比逐渐减小。由于熵增影响,实测压比与理想压比最大相差约36%。预旋系统内的熵增主要发生在预旋腔静止壁面、接受孔前后、供给孔进口等气流旋转比发生剧烈变化的区域。预旋系统内主要元件的熵增随流量增大都呈逐渐增大的趋势,但接受孔处熵增最小值出现在喷嘴出口旋转比等于1左右时,流量过小或过大都会导致接受孔处熵增变大。     

横向矩形微槽对高超边界层失稳的控制作用

模拟了马赫数为6的空间发展平板边界层,通过在平板表面添加二维横向微槽研究了其对基本流及第二模态扰动波的影响。结果表明:所研究的二维微槽构形与常规多孔涂层相比具有较大的尺寸(100 μm以上),微槽对基本流的流向速度影响很小,空间采样点上的频谱并未出现新的不稳定模态。微槽有利于减小摩擦阻力,槽内流动导致的压差阻力比摩擦阻力低1~2个数量级,总阻力随着开槽率的增加而减小,当开槽率为06时,减阻效果超过40%。在入口以两种方式添加了第二模态扰动波,包括单个扰动和多个叠加扰动,下游的演化结果说明横向微槽能够在一个宽带频率范围内对第二模态的增长起到明显的抑制作用,且控制效果随着开槽率的增大而增强。
