Bow shock: Power aspects

It is clear that the primary energy source for magnetospheric processes is the solar wind, but the process of energy transfer from the solar wind into the magnetosphere, or rather, to convecting magnetospheric plasma, appears to be rather complicated. Bow shock is a powerful transformer of the solar wind kinetic energy into the gas dynamic and electromagnetic energy. A jump of the magnetic field tangential component at front crossing means that the front carries an electric current. The solar wind kinetic energy partly transforms to gas kinetic and electromagnetic energy during its passage through the bow shock front. The transition layer (magnetosheath) can use part of this energy for accelerating of plasma, but can conversely spend part its kinetic energy on the electric power generation, which afterwards may be used by the magnetosphere. Thereby, transition layer can be both consumer (sink) and generator (source) of electric power depending upon special conditions. The direction of the current behind the bow shock front depends on the sign of the IMF Bz-component. It is this electric current which sets convection of plasma in motion.     

准平行无碰撞激波的混合模拟

本文应用一维混合模拟方法数值研究了准平行无碰撞激波的结构.结果表明,激波上游的质子和准平行无碰撞激波相互作用后,有部分质子被激波反射,并向激波上游运动很长一段距离,从而激发起束流不稳定性,引起大振幅的共振右旋偏振的低频波动.这些波动在太阳风的带动下向激波下游运动,靠近激波后与激波合井,同时在激波的上游不断有新的波动产生.此过程能不断重复地进行.在平行无碰撞激波的情况下,在激波的下游还有大振幅的非共振右旋偏振的低频波动.激波上游的低频波动在向下游运动的过程中强度不断加强,最后超过原来激波的强度,形成新的激波.

行星际激波导致的磁尾等离子片中ULF波动事件

磁层中的超低频（ULF）波动在太阳风和磁层之间的能量输运过程中具有重要作用.ULF波动主要发生在内磁层,且内磁层中ULF波动影响粒子的加速及沉降,而在夜侧磁层尤其是磁尾等离子片中观测到的ULF波动比较少.基于中国自主磁层探测卫星TC-1的观测数据,发现了两例行星际激波导致的磁尾中心等离子片中ULF波动事件,并发现这两例ULF事例都包含很强的环向模驻波分量,与以往THEMIS卫星报道的同类事件观测特征相符.根据ULF波的观测特征,分析了这两例ULF波动的可能触发机制.研究结果有助于深入理解磁层对行星际激波的全球响应.

Tolerance of chufa (Cyperus esculentus L.) plants,representing the higher plant compartment in bioregenerative life support systems,to super-optimal air temperatures

Plants intended to be included in the photosynthesizing compartment of the bioregenerative life support system (BLSS) need to be studied in terms of both their production parameters under optimal conditions and their tolerance to stress factors that might be caused by emergency situations. The purpose of this study was to investigate tolerance of chufa (Cyperus esculentus L.) plants to the super-optimal air temperature of 45 ± 1 °C as dependent upon PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) intensity and the duration of the exposure to the stress factor. Chufa plants were grown hydroponically, on expanded clay, under artificial light. The nutrient solution was Knop’s mineral medium. Until the plants were 30 days old, they had been grown at 690 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ PAR and air temperature 25 °C. Thirty-day-old plants were exposed to the temperature 45 °C for 6 h, 20 h, and 44 h at PAR intensities 690 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ and 1150 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹. The exposure to the damaging air temperature for 44 h at 690 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ PAR caused irreversible damage to PSA, resulting in leaf mortality. In chufa plants exposed to heat shock treatment at 690 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ PAR for 6 h and 20 h, respiration exceeded photosynthesis, and CO₂ release in the light was recorded. Functional activity of photosynthetic apparatus, estimated from parameters of pulse-modulated chlorophyll fluorescence in Photosystem 2 (PS 2), decreased 40% to 50%. After the exposure to the stress factor was finished, functional activity of PSA recovered its initial values, and apparent photosynthesis (P_apparent) rate after a 20-h exposure to the stress factor was 2.6 times lower than before the elevation of the temperature. During the first hours of plant exposure to the temperature 45 °C at 1150 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ PAR, respiration rate was higher than photosynthesis rate, but after 3–4 h of the exposure, photosynthetic processes exceeded oxidative ones and CO₂ absorption in the light was recorded. At the end of the 6-h exposure, P_apparent rate was close to that recorded prior to the exposure, and no significant changes were observed in the functional activity of PSA. At the end of the 20-h exposure, P_apparent rate was close to its initial value, but certain parameters of the functional activity of PSA decreased 25% vs. their initial values. During the repair period, the parameters of external gas exchange recovered their initial values, and parameters of pulse-modulated chlorophyll fluorescence were 20–30% higher than their initial values. Thus, exposure of chufa plants to the damaging temperature of the air for 20 h did not cause any irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of plants at either 690 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ or 1150 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ PAR, and higher PAR intensity during the heat shock treatment enhanced heat tolerance of the plants.     

双弯曲入射激波的可控中心体内收缩基准流场设计

采用有旋特征线法设计了一种双弯曲入射激波的可控中心体内收缩基准流场,两道入射激波交于中心体起始点,入射激波和反射激波通过给定激波径向总压恢复系数分布进行反设计,壁面通过给定轴向马赫数分布规律进行反设计.该基准流场分为“三波四区”且压缩效率较高.基于该基准流场设计了圆形进口内收缩进气道并进行了黏性修正,数值计算结果表明:内收缩进气道设计点核心区的流场特征和激波形状与基准流场基本一致;在来流马赫数为4.0~7.0时进气道具有较高的压缩效率和良好的流量捕获能力,设计点喉道截面增压比和总压恢复系数分别为17.7和0.729;来流马赫数为5.0~7.0时内部总阻力系数变化平缓,从0.23下降为0.22.      

压缩拐角激波与旁路转捩边界层干扰数值研究

为了研究激波与旁路转捩边界层的干扰机理,采用直接数值模拟(DNS)方法对来流马赫数Ma∞=2.9,24°压缩拐角内激波与转捩边界层的相互作用进行了系统的研究。考察了旁路转捩干扰下压缩拐角内分离区形态和激波波系结构的典型特征。比较了转捩干扰与湍流干扰流动结构的差异,并分析了造成差异的原因。研究了拐角内转捩边界层的演化特性,探讨了转捩干扰下脉动峰值压力和峰值摩阻的分布规律及形成机制。研究结果表明:相较于湍流干扰,两侧发卡涡串的展向挤压使得分离区起始点以V字型分布,且分离激波沿展向以破碎状态为主,激波脚呈现多层结构;拐角内的干扰作用急剧加速了边界层的转捩过程;转捩干扰下的拐角内峰值脉动压力以单峰结构出现在分离区的下游,同时干扰区内的强湍动能和高雷诺剪切应力使得其局部峰值摩阻系数要高于湍流干扰。     

喷管结构形式对两级PDE性能的影响分析

为了研究喷管结构形式对两级 PDE 性能的影响及作用规律,以氢气和空气混合物为例,采用 FLUENT 软件中的 k-ε湍流模型,使用非平衡壁面函数、PISO 算法及基于梯度的动态自适应网格加密方法,对收敛、扩张、收扩等不同喷管结构形式的凹面腔内环形向心射流聚心碰撞产生激波会聚起爆爆震波的过程进行了数值模拟,并对两级脉冲爆震发动机产生的推力和冲量进行了计算。通过对不同时间点凹面腔产生的推力和冲量、喷管产生的推力和冲量、两级 PDE 总的推力和冲量三者之间的对比和分析,发现凹面腔产生的推力和冲量是两级 PDE 总的推力和冲量的主要来源,不同喷管结构形式对两级 PDE 推力和冲量性能的影响有较大的差别。以冲量为例,收敛喷管可以提高凹面腔的冲量,但是由于自身同时产生过多负的喷管冲量,因而总冲量较小;扩张喷管虽然对凹面腔冲量的提高作用不大,但是由于其自身可以提供正的喷管冲量,所以总冲量较大;收扩喷管的收敛段也可以较小幅度的提高凹面腔冲量,但同时产生的负喷管冲量会和扩张段产生的正喷管冲量发生抵消,使总的喷管冲量比较低,发动机总冲量也较小。综合考虑各方面因素,扩张喷管性能最优。可见在两级 PDE 喷管结构形式的选择上,要同时考虑凹面腔冲量和喷管冲量,权衡两者,才能选择出合适的喷管。
