In this context, characterization of WV circulation decay under the reasonable worst case (RWC) conditions allows the separation minima to be found safely. In this study, modeling of dimensionless decay curves, which were developed using three experimental LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) datasets in the RECAT-EU project and is a useful tool to characterize the wake vortex circulation decay under RWC conditions, was carried out using cuckoo search algorithm (CSA). The decay curves used in the modeling are the median (P50), 10th (P10), and 90th (P90) percentile decay curves of the RWC tracks, which constitute the top 2% longest lasting wakes. The fact that the correlation coefficient (R) values are very close to 1 for all datasets as a result of the error analysis shows that the prediction success of the CSA model is quite high.","PeriodicalId":506990,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering","volume":" 59","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139787954","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 study focuses on the impact of a typical cavity bleed structure on the internal flow characteristics of a compressor, specifically its circumferential non-uniformity and aerodynamic stability. A numerical simulation involving multiple flow passages was conducted on the transonic high-pressure rotor of the E3 compressor, considering its typical bleed structure. The study delves deep into the non-uniform flow characteristics and the mechanisms behind their generation in the compressor flow field. Furthermore, the influence of bleed on the rotating instability of the compressor is explored by comparing changes in compressor instability and adiabatic efficiency under uniform and non-uniform flow field conditions. The findings indicate that the axial position of the cavity bleed structure plays a crucial role in influencing key parameters such as rotor stall margin, peak efficiency, and total pressure ratio under near-stall conditions. The circumferential non-uniformity, resulting from the presence of the cavity bleed, intensifies with higher bleed air flow rates. For the upstream bleed configuration applied to the rotor, with a total bleed rate of 5%, the maximum variation in absolute flow angle at the inlet of different rotor channels can reach up to 1°. Additionally, the maximum difference in inlet flow coefficient can reach 0.0392. These findings demonstrate that the non-uniformity caused by the typical bleed structure leads to a loss in stall margin for the rotor when compared to a uniform flow field scheme.","PeriodicalId":506990,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"5 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139801154","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}

Taking a typical spatial single pipeline as the research object, this paper innovatively presents a PFEM method of pipeline system based on the newly constructed nonconforming solid (Solid-NC) element. The stiffness and mass matrices of the spatial 8-node Solid-NC element with second-order boundary accuracy are obtained by introducing the node-free displacement items and statics condensation method. The PFEM method of the pipeline body is proposed by selecting the straight-line segment lengths as the pipeline shape control parameters. The PFEM method of the pipeline is described in detail, including the node coordinate solutions of straight-line and curved arc segments based on the direction vector method and vector decomposition method, respectively, and the simulation of the clamp mechanical properties considering the actual pre-tightening state of the clamp. Furthermore, the modal analysis is carried out, the node stress response solution is solved based on the stress smoothing method, and the effectiveness of the PFEM method is verified through experiment. Finally, the mesh quality and model reconstruction efficiency of the PFEM method is analyzed, the results show that the developed PFEM method has higher mesh quality and fast model reconstruction speed, and the model reconstruction time is shortened by 544.5 times at most compared with ANSYS software.","PeriodicalId":506990,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"87 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139798724","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}

Firstly, a mathematics model of the integrated guidance and control system with the compensation for the radome error is built by integrating the missile dynamics and the engagement kinematics between the missile and ground target on the longitudinal motion. Secondly, the model is transformed into a normal form by nonlinear coordinate transformation because the system is a time-varying system with mismatched uncertainties. Thirdly, an adaptive control law of the system is designed by adopting the sliding mode control theory, and the stability of the closed-loop system is also conducted. Finally, the simulation proves that the proposed integrated guidance and control scheme can effectively compensate for the radome error and ensure the hit-to-kill attack to the target.","PeriodicalId":506990,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139801824","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}
