The investigated cascade in current paper has separations both on the suction surface (SS) along the whole blade span and three-dimensional separation in the hub corner. The results show that the flow structure can be changed after the suction, which leads to the variation of loss and blockage generation. The suction scheme on the SS can effectively control the boundary layer separation near trailing edge and to some extent mitigate the three-dimensional separation. The displacement thickness of the three-dimensional separation cannot be simply used to evaluate the overall performance due to the existence of the boundary layer separation on the SS, the variation of the flow pattern and vortex structures should also be considered. The effectiveness and mechanisms varies by conducting suction control at different development stage of the secondary flow. Applying suction control is suitable at the early development stage, and the earlier the better, while it is inappropriate to carry out the control at the middle development stage. The suction control at the late development stage is another relative effective method.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114981160","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}

To mitigate the effect of ionosphere which varies sometimes rapidly and locally due to the solar activity, we propose estimating the ionosphere delay in the process of positioning calculation by using the ionospheric thin shell model with single-frequency pseudorange measurement of single epoch. Since sufficient number of visible satellites is observable for multi-GNSS positioning, all those measurements are not necessarily used. We propose algorithm of selecting useful satellites by the residual ranging error of pseudorange measurement to mitigate the positioning error. The performance evaluation for proposed selection algorithm and ionosphere delay estimation was conducted by using L1 pseudorange measurements of global positioning system (GPS) and GLONASS on both quiet and disturbed ionospheric conditions. Proposed selection algorithm reduced the rms of horizontal positioning error by about 10% on disturbed condition. Proposed ionosphere delay estimation increased the average of horizontal error reduction by 30% in daytime on disturbed condition, compared with the conventional correction method using Klobuchar model.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125073645","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}

In this paper, the per-slot availability and constellation availability of GPS is evaluated and analyzed. Based on Markov process, the model of per-slot availability is set up. In this model, the failure rate and restoration rate of per-slot are taken into account. Moreover, combined with the backup situation of satellites, the constellation availability evaluation models of signal-in-space (SIS) and service are proposed. Based on the above evaluation models, the performance of GPS per-slot availability and constellation availability are evaluated by using the measured data. The results show that GPS per-slot availability and constellation availability have had a very high availability probability. The per-slot availability probability is larger than 0.998. And the constellation availability probability of SIS and service can respectively reach 0.999 999 963 and 0.955 3 respectively when there is no faulted satellites. Meanwhile, the results are instructive for the study of the availability performance evaluation of global BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130651083","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}

Recently, considerable endeavor is being made in order to extend the cruise range of UAVs, while UAV propulsion systems play a key role. In the past, studies involving the design and development of UAV propulsion systems often employed experiment to determine whether the design of engine shrouds and its inner space allocation could effectively channel cool air into the engine room and achieve exhaust emission and thermal radiation. However, obtaining information for the related flow fields through experimental testing is difficult. Hence, in this study, we developed a structure of large-scale UAV and adopted a numerical method to simulate cool air channeled into the engine room to investigate the internal heat distribution conditions. Furthermore, we used Sliding Mesh Model (SMM) to simulate the rotation of UAV’s propeller and investigate if the convection effect caused by the propeller increases the exhaust emission from the engine room. The results in this study obtained not only the dynamic flow field of cool air channeled into the UAV engine room but also the essential flow field information to achieve thermal radiation of the UAV engine room. The findings of this study can serve as a reference for researchers in the formulation of optimal thermal radiation designs for engine rooms.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132753192","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}

However, some factors such as force applied, force direction, and geometric configuration of a derailleur, which drew scant attention in design of a conventional sprocket. Generally, short yaw of chain link and scarcity of derailleur force induce the chain to straddle on a target sprocket, even make engaged links drop to original one. Thus, gear shifting would be failure. In fact, the proper force applied and direction will contribute to mitigate lateral forces and tensile forces applied on chain links, accelerate the process of chain shifts, extend the service life of chain and sprockets, and reduce vibrations or noises in the process of gear shifting, even improve the efficiency of chain shifts. The purpose of the geometric design for derailleur is to derive an optimal profile that the minimum force applied on. Base on above, all contact points in the optimal trajectory are not linear arrangement between derailleur and chain. In this paper, the optimal geometric configuration of derailleur is formed by employing difference theory of quazi-dynamic equilibrium for transmission chain as the optimal path is derived.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131507426","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 objective of this paper is to identify the predominant factor affecting the accuracy of the calculation and to propose a more efficient way to simulate the shock wave/boundary layer interaction flow. First, the hypersonic flow over a compression ramp of 35-degree is calculated by the parallel direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), and the results are compared with the benchmark to get a grid resolution. Then, the subcell scheme is implemented and the computational efficiency is highly improved. It is recommended to use a relatively coarse grid with subcell scheme to get a reliable result efficiently in engineering. It also can be found that the SOF, which is the ratio of mean collision separation (MCS) of the particles to mean free path (MFP), plays an important role in the accurate prediction of the recirculation zone, surface pressure and heat flux coefficient. Furthermore, further study show it is not a necessary condition to maintain the SOF value below unity throughout the flow field. More attention should be given to the SOF value in the cells close to the wall.","PeriodicalId":335344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of aeronautics, astronautics and aviation, Series A","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130697803","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}
