A concept of increasing efficiency for ramjet operation

The vortical mixing concept in the ramjet channel is analyzed. The results of simulating the gasodynamic scheme permit the concept of increasing efficiency for ramjet operation to be substantiated.     

Magnetospheric Science Objectives of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Juno</Emphasis> Mission

In July 2016, NASA’s Juno mission becomes the first spacecraft to enter polar orbit of Jupiter and venture deep into unexplored polar territories of the magnetosphere. Focusing on these polar regions, we review current understanding of the structure and dynamics of the magnetosphere and summarize the outstanding issues. The Juno mission profile involves (a) a several-week approach from the dawn side of Jupiter’s magnetosphere, with an orbit-insertion maneuver on July 6, 2016; (b) a 107-day capture orbit, also on the dawn flank; and (c) a series of thirty 11-day science orbits with the spacecraft flying over Jupiter’s poles and ducking under the radiation belts. We show how Juno’s view of the magnetosphere evolves over the year of science orbits. The Juno spacecraft carries a range of instruments that take particles and fields measurements, remote sensing observations of auroral emissions at UV, visible, IR and radio wavelengths, and detect microwave emission from Jupiter’s radiation belts. We summarize how these Juno measurements address issues of auroral processes, microphysical plasma physics, ionosphere-magnetosphere and satellite-magnetosphere coupling, sources and sinks of plasma, the radiation belts, and the dynamics of the outer magnetosphere. To reach Jupiter, the Juno spacecraft passed close to the Earth on October 9, 2013, gaining the necessary energy to get to Jupiter. The Earth flyby provided an opportunity to test Juno’s instrumentation as well as take scientific data in the terrestrial magnetosphere, in conjunction with ground-based and Earth-orbiting assets.

Microwave spectrum analysis as solar energy release diagnostics

The possibilities of using spectrographic observations of microwave radio emission as a solar flare plasma diagnostic are discussed. The spectral fine structure of the emission is interpreted in the context of plasma emission mechanisms. The balance equations for particles and plasma turbulence together with the transfer equations for electromagnetic waves in a plasma are solved for a model containing a diverging magnetic loop. As a result of the analysis of the blip-type spectral feature, the structure of energy release region and the unperturbed plasma concentration in the preflare loop are evaluated. The number of accelerated electrons and the intensity of the plasma turbulence in the source region are estimated using the properties of the weak continuum emission following the blip. Based on the degree of circular polarization of both the narrow band and the continuum emission, estimates for the external magnetic field strength and the angular width of the radiating plasma turbulence have been obtained.     

Dynamics of the orbital cable system

The Orbital Cable System (OCS) consists of a vehicle with an engine, a long connecting cable (string) and a satellite probe for low altitude geophysical explorations. The vehicle orbits the Earth at an altitude of 200–250 km and tows a probe at an altitude of 100–150 km. The air drag is compensated by the vehicle engine thrust. In the OCS dynamics study the cable weight, elasticity and air drag are taken into account. The OCS stationary motions are found, and stability of these motions is investigated. The OCS periodical motions that are close to the stationary motions are found. Simple ways of the OCS deployment in orbit are described.     

Microacoustic Imaging Technique for Bulk Microstructure Characterization of Woven CFRC Materials

In short wavelength case ultrasound propagation through woven carbon fiber-rein-forced composite (CFRC) materials essentially depends on their microstructure.Fiber bundle and weaving ply can be considered as basic structural elements of woven CFRC laminates.These structural units provide effective reflectors when ultra-short impulse high frequency ultrasound impinges on woven laminates.The reflection coefficient R0 achieves level of 3%-15% at ply-ply interface,0.2-0.4 in resin pocket region.This magnitude of reflection coefficient offers reasonable acoustic contrast to see packing,lay-up and resin pockets in woven laminate body by acoustic imaging methods.Microacoustic imaging technique is based on time-resolved echoes from reflections in woven CFRC laminates.A focal system with low aperture angle is used to generate 20-40 probe ultrasonic pulse wave.Its spatial resolution is up to 60mm at 50MHz in woven CFRC laminate.The results presented in this paper demonstrates the possibility and potentiality of characterization of microstrueture of woven CFRC laminates.Packing,lay-up,weaving nature,fiber bundle,resin pocket as well as their topology are exhibited clearly in the acoustic images by using microaeoustic technique.
