乘波体压缩面变化对其气动性能影响分析

乘波体是一种利用激波包裹特性获得高升阻比的高速飞行器构型.已有研究中,乘波体气动性能的改善主要依赖于给定源流场条件下的前缘型线优化.本文采用数值优化和计算流体力学模拟为主要手段分析了乘波体压缩面变化对其气动性能的影响,以期有效拓展乘波体的设计空间.主要内容如下:首先给出了一种基于表面局部变形的乘波体设计方法.其次结合运用增量修正参数化方法、计算流体力学分析和微分演化算法构造了乘波体压缩面外形气动优化设计流程,以一种椭圆锥形流场生成的乘波体作为基准构型开展了无黏优化.之后从优化结果中选择升阻比递增的6个典型构型进行前缘钝化处理后,基于N-S方程对其气动性能进行了评估.最后综合依据无黏/黏性计算结果分析了乘波体压缩面变化对其气动性能的影响.结果表明该部分形状的改变对乘波体气动性能影响十分明显,在升力面积不变的条件下,乘波体压缩面形状变化可导致其升阻比出现成倍变化,即使在升力不减条件下,升阻比较基准构型也可获得超过14%的提升.此外,还可导致乘波体相对压心系数出现明显偏移.     

Calculation of electronic spectra of porphin and its derivatives by a modified INDO/S method

Quantum-chemical calculations of excited electronic states of porphin (H₂P) and Mg-porphin (MgP) have been carried out in the framework of the INDO/S method with varying off-diagonal matrix elements of the one-electron Hamiltonian {ie027-01} and electron-electron interaction integrals {ie027-02} as functions of the internuclear distance. It has been found that a simultaneous increase in the π-type overlap factor for {ie027-03} and decrease in the {ie027-04} integrals, as compared with {ie027-05} calculated by the Nishimoto-Mataga formula, make it possible to reproduce the positions of the Q-and B-transitions in the experimental absorption spectrum with a precision of ∼300 cm⁻¹. In this case, the N_x-transition intensity of the H₂P molecule is halved, which means that only two B-transitions should be related to the Soret band as in the four-orbital model. Using the proposed parameterization (INDO/Sm), electronic spectra have been calculated for a number of porphyrin compounds including chlorine, bacteriochlorin, tetrabenzoporphin, and tetraazaporphin. The results obtained agree with the experimental data to an accuracy of 300–700 cm⁻¹ whereas the accuracy of the standard INDO/S calculation is no better than 3000 cm⁻¹. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 1, pp. 28–35, January–February, 2008.     

用调整边界层湍流系数的QNSE方案模拟夏秋季沿海大风的应用研究

利用WRF模式,采用YSU、QNSE边界层参数化方案以及调整参数后的QNSE边界层参数化方案（MQNSE）,对2009年7月梅雨个例、2015年苏迪罗台风以及2013年10月的近海大风进行了模拟试验,并对模拟结果进行对比检验,着重检验参数调整后的QNSE方案模拟沿海大风效果.研究结果如下：参数调整后的QNSE边界层参数化方法改进了对沿海风场的模拟效果,尤其是当风速小幅脉动时,参数调整后的QNSE方案较接近于实况风速的波动.通过登陆台风个例模拟试验和对沿海10个岛屿观测站的490个样本统计检验表明,参数调整后的QNSE方案较YSU和原QNSE方案的绝对误差（AE）和相对误差（RE）小,表明调整后的方案对海上风速模拟能力有了一定提高.在对连续1个月的沿海风场模拟试验对比中发现,参数调整后,海上过大的风速模拟值明显降低,模拟效果更趋近于实况.     

Density functional theory (DFT)-based modified embedded atom method potentials: Bridging the gap between nanoscale theoretical simulations and DFT calculations

A density functional theory (DFT)-calculation scheme for constructing the modified embedded atom method (MEAM) potentials for face-centered cubic (fcc) metals is presented. The input quantities are carefully selected and a more reliable DFT approach for surface energy determination is introduced in the parameterization scheme, enabling MEAM to precisely predict the surface and nanoscale properties of metallic materials. Molecular dynamics simulations on Pt and Au crystals show that the parameterization empl...     

CFD‐based optimization of aerofoils using radial basis functions for domain element parameterization and mesh deformation

A novel domain element shape parameterization method is presented for computational fluid dynamics‐based shape optimization. The method is to achieve two aims: (1) provide a generic ‘wrap‐around’ optimization tool that is independent of both flow solver and grid generation package and (2) provide a method that allows high‐fidelity aerodynamic optimization of two‐ and three‐dimensional bodies with a low number of design variables. The parameterization technique uses radial basis functions to transfer domain element movements into deformations of the design surface and corresponding aerodynamic mesh, thus allowing total independence from the grid generation package (structured or unstructured). Independence from the flow solver (either inviscid, viscous, aeroelastic) is achieved by obtaining sensitivity information for an advanced gradient‐based optimizer (feasible sequential quadratic programming) by finite‐differences. Results are presented for two‐dimensional aerofoil inverse design and drag optimization problems. Inverse design results demonstrate that a large proportion of the design space is feasible with a relatively low number of design variables using the domain element parameterization. Heavily constrained (in lift, volume, and moment) two‐dimensional aerofoil drag optimization has shown that significant improvements over existing designs can be achieved using this method, through the use of various objective functions.

On the conditions for the coincidence of two cubic Bézier curves

In a recent article, Wang et al. [2] derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of two cubic Bézier curves with non-collinear control points. The condition reads that their control points must be either coincident or in reverse order. We point out that this uniqueness of the control points for polynomial cubics is a straightforward consequence of a previous and more general result of Barry and Patterson, namely the uniqueness of the control points for rational Bézier curves. Moreover, this uniqueness applies to properly parameterized polynomial curves of arbitrary degree.     

Inverse method for detection and sizing of cracks in thin sections using a hybrid genetic algorithm based signal parametrisation

A hybrid-GA method, based on signal parameterization, has been reported here for the improved detection and sizing of surface cracks of small sizes/depths in thin sections. The method relies on parameterizing the composite reference from the defect into its individual components i.e., the crack tip diffracted echo and the corner trap echo and subsequently use the relative arrival time technique (RATT). The phased array ultrasonic technique was employed in the investigation. Both experimental and simulated signals were used in the study. It is shown through both simulations and experiments that the hybrid-GA is successful in parameterizing both non-overlapping and overlapping echoes encountered in thin sections. It is additionally shown that the hybrid-GA improves the signal to noise ratio and correct for under-sampling of data.     

Convex combination maps over triangulations, tilings, and tetrahedral meshes

In a recent paper by the first author, a simple proof was given of a result by Tutte on the validity of barycentric mappings, recast in terms of the injectivity of piecewise linear mappings over triangulations. In this note, we make a short extension to the proof to deal with arbitrary tilings. We also give a simple counterexample to show that convex combination mappings over tetrahedral meshes are not necessarily one-to-one.
