The accuracy of the swirl flow field calculation method was verified by the cold flow test of the solid rocket ramjet with swirler. A velocity uniformity coefficient based on the axial velocity distribution in the afterburning chamber was proposed. The influence of different blade angles and blade numbers of the swirl device on the flow field in the solid ramjet was numerically simulated, and the velocity uniformity coefficient and the total pressure recovery coefficient were used to evaluate the mixing performance of the afterburning chamber. The results show that the improved swirler designed in this paper can reduce the total pressure loss in the afterburning chamber through structural optimization. The blade angle of the swirling device affects the mixing effect of the afterburning chamber. When the blade angle varies from -30 ° to 30 °, the maximum difference in mixing effect is 7.20%. The six blades swirl device with a blade angle of 20° has the best mixing performance to improve the afterburning chamber. The mixing performance can be improved by up to 4.30%, and the total pressure loss can be reduced by 1.70%.","PeriodicalId":198002,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122017810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical results show that wall catalytic condition have ignorable effect on the capsule's pressure. The shear stress predicted by the super-catalytic wall condition are overall higher than that by the non-catalytic wall, with the maximum discrepancy of up to 21% at the nose and shoulder of forebody. The maximum relative discrepancies of axial force coefficient, normal force coefficient and pitch moment coefficient predicted by different catalytic wall conditions are merely 0.3%, 1.2% and 1.3%, respectively, indicating the minimal effect of wall catalytic properties on aerodynamic force coefficients for large blunt body shapes such as the Mars entry capsule.","PeriodicalId":198002,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128958263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Normalized thrust was utilized to evaluate the propulsive performance. The results show that single-wave mode will be obtained when the mass flow rate exceeds 100 g/s, and the wave velocity is close to the estimated theoretical value. Thrust is increased when a smaller throat is employed, while normalized thrust remains nearly constant. In addition, that detonation waves propagate well in the RDC is not a sufficient condition for an RDC to achieve its ideal performance, inlet restrictions rather than outlet restriction, might play a more important role in achieving the pressure gain.","PeriodicalId":198002,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131280795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large-size catalytic bed is 140 mm in diameter and adopts silver as the main catalyst. The tests results demonstrate that adopting silver as the main catalyst is an efficient way to catalyze 98HP. And the effects of oxidizer mass flow rate on catalytic delay time and catalytic bed pressure drop are also discovered. The catalytic delay time is negatively correlated with oxidizer mass flow rate, presenting an exponential function. And the difference between the inlet pressure of the catalytic bed and reaction chamber pressure is defined as the pressure drop of the catalyst bed. The pressure drop of the catalytic bed is linearly related to the oxidizer mass flow rate, and a linear fitting formula is obtained. Moreover, a reaction chamber and nozzle are designed to investigate characteristic velocity efficiency, which is equivalent to the efficiency of the catalytic bed. The catalytic bed efficiency is about 99.5% within the total catalytic tests time. It is concluded that this large-size catalytic bed has a high degree of stability and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":198002,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132803126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Output and input constraints are studied and implemented in linear form to reduce the computational power. A collision-free maneuver is ensured by setting a hyper-plane-rotation constraint. In addition, a new form of line-of-sight constraint is developed based on the first-order approximation of the circular cone equation to guarantee smooth docking. Moreover, control input constraints are considered by setting upper and lower bounds for each input. The robustness of the system is studied by simulating the response for elliptical orbit with different values of eccentricity. The proposed GNC is verified in three stages; first, numerical simulation has been performed, second, optimized C++ code is generated and its results are compared to simulation results, and third, the C++ code is tested on the target board to verify the ability to compute the control action within the sampling time.","PeriodicalId":198002,"journal":{"name":"2022 13th International Conference on Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (ICMAE)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134539989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technology uses tethered wings or flying devices to harvest wind energy at the layers of the atmosphere, which are usually out of the range of the regular wind turbines. AWES research began in the mid-1970s and has accelerated dramatically in the recent decade. A wide range of solutions were investigated as well as tested around the world. Several models have been developed around the world, and preliminary experimental results are already accessible. Practical prototypes have attained power levels of several hundred kilowatts, and manufacturers are striving for long-term operation in relevant settings. As a result, system reliability, modeling, and control have all become critical parts of system design. This paper examines the different techniques proposed to capture the energy of wind gusts, including models developed by institutions and companies. On the grounds of their overall design and structure, a categorization of such technologies is offered. The focus is on physical development of technologies that have been demonstrated and proven in real-world situations.
