连续旋转爆震波传播模态试验

通过保持空气流量不变、改变H2/air当量比开展了连续旋转爆震对比试验,发现随当量比的降低出现三种传播模态:在较高的当量比(0.90~1.86)下,连续旋转爆震波以同向传播模态传播;在较低的当量比(≈0.75)下,则以双波对撞模态传播;在中间工况,则以上述混合模态维持传播。分析了不同传播模态下的高频压力特征,并初步分析了传播模态的转换机制:当量比较高时,爆震强度较高,传播过程中的损失和速度亏损相对较小,爆震波以同向传播模态维持传播;当量比较低时,爆震强度较低,传播过程中的损失和速度亏损较大,此时无法维持同向传播模态,而以双波对撞模态传播,这是由于双波对撞模态中的激波对撞产生高温环境,有利于燃烧放热,其可能是连续旋转爆震的极限传播模态。     

流量连续可调火箭发动机极度富燃燃烧特性

以气氧/煤油作为推进剂对火箭发动机进行流量连续调节试验,研究火箭发动机连续变工况过程中的燃烧特性。火箭发动机通过可调气蚀文氏管连续调节煤油流量。试验在富燃工况(混合比0.405~0.690)下成功点火,并实现了混合比、燃气总流量连续调节。试验发现流量连续调节过程中,当混合比小于0.535时,燃烧室压力随煤油流量减小而增大;当混合比大于0.535时,燃烧室压力随煤油流量减小而减小。同时,特征速度和燃烧效率随混合比增大而增大,并且混合比小于0.535时特征速度、燃烧效率增大的速率大于混合比大于0.535时的速率。研究表明推进剂流量与燃烧效率同时影响燃烧室压力。当混合比小于0.535时,燃烧效率的影响占优;混合比大于0.535时,推进剂流量影响占优。     

气氧甲烷溅板式层板喷注器燃烧特性试验分析

采用试验方法分别对单喷嘴和多喷嘴溅板式层板喷注器燃烧特性进行研究,考察不同工况下喷注器面板热载情况,得到不同混合比、不同结构参数对燃烧室压力分布和燃烧效率的影响规律。试验结果表明:混合比对多喷嘴喷注器燃烧室压力影响不大,但对燃烧效率有较大影响。对于单喷嘴喷注器,燃烧效率随着混合比的增加而增高。相同条件下,增大扩张角及出口层宽度有利于提高喷注器燃烧效率,但会引起喷注面板热载增大,各喷注器喷注面板均产生不同程度的变形或失效。该结果对于正确指导层板式喷注器的设计以及筛选喷注器结构具有重要意义。     

农用柴油机节能六法

1 提高柴油机冷却水温度。农用柴油机出水温度普遍低于45℃,使柴油不能完全燃烧,机油粘度大,加大了运行阻力,因而耗油多。故需提高柴油机冷却水的温度。 2 保护最佳供油提前角。195型柴油机供油提前角的最佳角度为16°-20°。当柴油机使用一段时间后,由于柱塞偶件与喷油泵传动件的磨损,供油提前角就会减小,造成供油时间过     

数值模拟气液针栓式火箭发动机喷雾燃烧对声学激励的响应

为研究气液针栓式火箭发动机的声学振荡特性并为其优化设计提供指导,加工了具有矩形燃烧室的LOX/GCH₄针栓式发动机,采用Euler-Lagrange方法仿真横向速度扰动产生的声学响应,以期在热试前了解声学激励频率对非稳态喷雾燃烧过程的影响。仿真结果表明,采用的横向速度扰动能在燃烧室内产生同频率的一阶横向声学振荡响应。喷雾燃烧对声学激励的响应强弱受扰动频率与燃烧室一阶横向振荡模态固有频率的相对大小影响较大。当扰动频率与该固有频率相等时,压力和燃烧释热随速度扰动出现同相振荡,压力振荡幅值显著增高导致燃烧室前半段的喷雾和火焰同步摆动;同时,燃烧室内存在扩散燃烧变为预混燃烧的趋势,甲烷在更短的距离内燃烧完全且燃烧室温度趋于均匀。     

圆柱形装药驱动轴向预制破片飞散特性

基于环形燃烧室结构的燃气发生器设计与仿真北大核心

为有效解决高能化学激光器压力恢复系统无法实现小型化及机动性能等问题,提出了以高温气源替代常温空气作为引射气源的方案,并设计了一种基于航空发动机环形燃烧室结构的空气/酒精燃气发生器。采用CFD计算软件开展了燃气发生器的流场仿真计算,获取了燃气发生器冷态及燃烧工况下的速度、压力与温度场,并将部分仿真计算结果与理论计算及试验值进行了对比。研究表明:燃气发生器设计合理,扩压器及二股腔道转接处无气流分离,帽罩处无溢流现象;主燃区回流区明显,且尺度适中,有利于组织燃烧,并有效指导了高能电火装置的位置布局;空气流量配比合理,主燃孔及掺混孔的射流深度满足燃烧及掺混要求;燃烧室总压恢复系数达到96.7%,燃烧效率实现98.4%,实现了高效燃烧;此外,相同工况下的理论计算值及试验结果验证了数值计算方法的合理可行性。     

火箭出口面积对RBCC发动机引射模态影响规律分析

火箭基组合循环发动机引射模态飞行状态复杂,为了提高发动机的整体性能,研究了火箭出口面积对发动机引射模态的影响规律。通过数值模拟研究,引射流量在低飞行马赫数条件下,主要受引射性能影响,火箭出口面积越大,引射性能越好。然而,随着飞行马赫数的提升,引射空气的动能提升,隔离段内出现壅塞情况,引射流量主要受限于隔离段几何尺寸,与火箭出口面积无关。在亚声速工况下,火箭出口面积越小,发动机比冲越低,且出口无量纲面积为3.15时,火箭羽流膨胀撞壁,会引起性能骤减,需要予以避免;在超声速工况下,选择面积较小的火箭出口面积,燃烧室内压越高,发动机性能提升越明显。     

煤油超音速燃烧的试验研究

在地面直连式试车台上,研究了煤油碳氢燃料超燃冲压发动机的点火燃烧性能。通过测量模型发动机壁面压力分布,比较了不同工况下的煤油点火燃烧性能。试验结果表明,在当量比为0.27～1.46的大范围内,煤油在超燃冲压模型发动机中能够成功点火,支板和凹腔对煤油在超声速气流中的点火及稳定燃烧有重要作用,少量氢气的喷入对煤油的点火燃烧有良好的促进作用。太厚的支板、过高的当量比、模型发动机第一级燃烧室加入燃料过多会使发动机壅塞,影响隔离段的正常工作,进而影响加热器喷管工作。     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Cyberpower in Strategic Affairs: Neither Unthinkable nor Blessed

Abstract

This article explores the effect of connectivity on strategic affairs. It argues that the effect on war's character is potentially, although not yet shown in practice, considerably large. Its effect upon the distribution of power among states in the international system is small, contrary to the claims of ‘cyberwar’ alarmists. All told, however, its effect upon strategic affairs is complex. On the one hand, it represents a significant advance in the ‘complexification’ of state strategies, understood in the sense of the production of intended effects. On the other hand, strategists today – still predominantly concerned with the conflicts and confrontations of states and organised military power – are generally missing the power which non-traditional strategic actors, better adapted to the network flows of the information age, are beginning to deploy. These new forms of organization and coercion will challenge the status quo.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.
