高焓CO2气流壁面两步催化机制对非平衡气动加热影响的数值模拟

针对高超声速火星进入飞行遇到的壁面CO_2催化机制特殊且对气动加热影响复杂的问题,基于化学反应系统的三维可压缩流动求解器,建立壁面吸附、Eley-Rideal结合速率受控的壁面CO_2两步催化模型。基于70°球锥布局的高焓风洞实验,进行考虑壁面催化效应的高超声速非平衡气动加热数值模拟,开展考虑CO+O_((s))和O+CO_((s))两类CO_2两步催化路径对非平衡气动加热的影响研究。研究表明,壁面O_2和CO_2结合并存且存在相互竞争关系,催化加热量随催化效率增大而单调增加。数值计算建立了催化路径与非平衡加热水平的定量关联,研究发现CO_2两类催化路径权重与加热量存在非单调关联,特定权重下两种路径联合作用的热流高于单个催化结果。相关研究对碳氧气体主导的壁面催化机理和火星进入气动加热的精细化预测有重要的理论指导意义。     

S弯进气道合成双射流流场控制特性分析

针对飞翼布局无人飞行器中S弯进气道明显流动分离和出口总压畸变等问题,提出了基于合成双射流的主动流动控制方法,建立了合成双射流的S弯进气道数值仿真模型。结果表明,在S弯进气道分离点附近施加合成双射流控制,在整个射流周期内通过“吹”“吸”接力可以有效抑制边界层流动分离,有效提升总压恢复系数。对比研究了合成双射流不同射流角度、射流峰值速度和激励频率对S弯进气道流场控制特性的影响规律。结果表明合成双射流与主流的角度越小,流动分离控制效果越好,较大射流峰值速度会对主流形成“阻挡”致使控制效果下降,激励频率与流场特征频率越接近控制效果越明显。     

钝体高超声速气动加热与结构热传递耦合的数值计算

气动加热与结构热传递耦合问题在航天和工程应用领域非常重要。分别采用松耦合与紧耦合方法,数值模拟了高超声速二维圆管绕流的流场与结构传热耦合的非定常过程。在紧耦合方法中,流场部分采用基于Navier Stokes方程的有限体积法,将AUSM+格式与时间方向的显式多步Runge Kutta法结合;结构传热部分采用基于二维热传导方程的Galerkin有限元法。流场与结构区通过交界面的热流和温度边界条件实现耦合。计算结果分别与实验、文献做了对比,结构内部温度变化关系以及壁面的热流分布均较好地吻合。两种耦合方式的计算结果对比表明,对于流场特征时间远小于结构传热特征时间的问题,松耦合方法计算效率高,精度与紧耦合方法接近。     

高超声速飞行器前缘流-热-固一体化计算

针对高超声速流动气动加热与结构传热的复杂耦合问题,探索和研究基于有限体积法的高超声速流-热-固一体化求解方法,将流场与结构温度场进行统一建模与数值模拟。该方法避开了传统气动加热和结构传热耦合求解方法在时间域内进行流场与结构温度场耦合交替迭代计算所带来的大量数据交换与计算,将流场与结构温度场作为一个物理场,采用统一的控制方程进行求解。采用典型高超声速绕流二维圆管稳态或非稳态流-热-固耦合算例对该一体化方法进行验证,稳态时圆管驻点温度最高达到648 K,非稳态时的热流密度和结构温度与参考文献和实验值吻合较好,由此证明了该方法的可靠性和正确性。与耦合计算方法的对比分析结果表明:该一体化求解方法所得计算结果更接近实验值,并且计算量和网格依赖性都相对较小,具有更好的稳定性和计算精度,能为高超声速飞行器一体化热防护设计提供有效的理论和技术支撑。     

稀薄流高超声速飞行器气动加热耦合计算

针对稀薄流域高超声速飞行器的气动加热问题,开展耦合数值计算研究。通过引入牛顿冷却定律,将直接模拟蒙特卡洛数值模拟方法与结构传热计算方法相结合,设计一种可对全机外形进行气动热和结构传热计算的高效松耦合方法,实现飞行器防热层结构材料温度分布特性的数值模拟。在以钝锥外形为例对直接模拟蒙特卡洛数值模拟程序进行验证的基础上,采用该方法对X37B轨道飞行器外形长时加热与结构传热过程进行数值模拟,给出结构温度及热流密度随飞行时间的变化规律。研究结果表明,设计的耦合计算方法能够模拟稀薄流域高超声速飞行器的气动加热及结构传热耦合过程,可为该类飞行器的气动热分析及热防护设计提供技术支持。     

高超声速气动热化学非平衡效应数值分析研究

通过数值分析研究了化学非平衡效应对气动加热问题的影响.分别以量热完全气体、单组分热完全气体和5组分化学非平衡气体为气体模型,计算了圆柱钝头的绕流流场和壁面热流密度分布,比较并分析了高温化学非平衡效应对流场特性,尤其是气动加热特性的影响.结果分析表明,高温化学非平衡效应可使激波层变薄,激波层内温度大幅下降,从而会严重影响气动热环境特性,是影响高超声速飞行器热防护设计的重要因素.     

Spalart-Allmaras湍流模型在高超声速气动加热计算中的应用

将AUSM+格式与LU SGS隐式迭代相结合,采用一方程的Spalart Allmaras湍流模型和二阶迎风MUSCL格式,研究了火星"探路者号"实验模型在10马赫来流条件下的气动热问题。采用量热完全和热完全两种气体模型的计算结果与实验数据进行了比较。热完全气体模型模拟的热流分布规律与实验吻合较好,但是对分离区的热流估计过高。在网格合理划分,尤其是满足近壁面的网格分辨率要求的前提下,该方法能够合理反映高超声速流场除分离区以外的气动热特性。     

合成双射流冲击平板流场结构与模态分解分析

为揭示合成双射流冲击平板流场结构特征,通过大涡模拟方法对合成双射流冲击平板流动进行了仿真,采用有限时间Lyapunov指数方法对流场的拉格朗日涡结构进行了识别,并与欧拉框架下的速度矢量和涡量结果进行了对比分析。结果表明,在合成双射流两股射流交替作用下,射流核心区涡系结构较为复杂且涡量丰富,远离核心区存在一对稳定的涡结构,且拉格朗日涡结构与涡量对应较好,为合成双射流冲击冷却的布局设计提供了指导。另外,流场本征正交分解表明,第一阶模态关于激励器出口中心轴线大致对称,其能量占总体能量的35%,前6阶模态的能量占80%;根据前6阶模态所反映的流场特性,合成双射流冲击平板流场具有高度的对称性。     

预冷却引射系统性能一维分析

根据引射器的一维设计理论可知,二次流在进入混合室之前进行预冷降温可以提高引射效率,增大引射系数,但引入预冷器会同时引起流动损失,故需要对引射系统进行性能评估。针对设有预冷器的引射系统,应用一维理论分析预冷对系统性能的影响,重点分析预冷增强效果与流阻减弱效果对引射效率的作用。研究发现:预冷器对引射系统同时带来冷却增强作用和流阻减弱作用,横截面积和换热面积是主要影响因素。预冷器存在临界横截面积,横截面积大于临界值时,换热面积越大,引射性能越高;反之,换热面积越大,引射性能越低。等压混合引射方案比等截面混合引射方案性能高,前者引射系数比后者大60%;预冷却能够有效提高引射性能,尤其是等截面混合引射方案,性能提高可达35.5%。     

并联放电等离子体合成射流激励器工作特性

等离子体合成射流激励器凭借射流速度高、工作频带宽、响应迅速等优势在高速流场主动流动控制领域具有良好的应用前景。为了克服单个激励器控制能力弱、控制范围窄的缺点,开展了并联放电等离子体合成射流激励器的研究,搭建了最多支持三路并联放电的微秒脉冲电源。测试结果表明,电源在空载及负载条件下可以实现1000 Hz稳定放电。随着放电电容的增大,放电电能的提高,等离子体电弧的温度升高,激励器腔体内气体被加热得更剧烈,产生的射流速度增大。随着工作频率的提高,激励器的击穿电压降低,放电电能减小,射流速度减小。通过对触发信号的调制,可以实现每个激励器的独立控制,使得并联式激励器具有更强的流动控制灵活性。试验结果显示,激励器工作相位与触发相位具有较好的对应关系。     

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).     

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.

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

Panjwai: a tale of two COINs in Afghanistan

The US Army has two approaches to counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan. One is hard, or combat-focused, and the other is soft, or development-focused. This study examines two US Army task forces deployed to Panjwai District, Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013. CTF 4-9 and 1-38 offer a meaningful comparison because they pursued these contrasting approaches among the same population and against the same enemy at the same time and place. The study compares each unit’s approach and finds that neither approach was successful absent the other. The article concludes by recommending further research into combining the approaches at the operational level.
