These phenomena result from brief impulses through vents or apertures in fluid systems, such as in caves, volcanic crusts, downbursts, or the descent of liquid droplets. The majority of naturally occurring and laboratory-generated vortex loops, studied for fundamental research on their formation, growth, instability, and dissolution, are classified as incompressible. This categorisation denotes negligible alterations in thermodynamic properties within the vortex loop. However, a distinct category of vortex loops emerges from processes involving artillery, shock tubes, explosions, chemical interactions, and combustion. This class primarily constitutes compressible vortex loops. Their presence in flow fields spans over a century, and they have been observed since the application of open-ended shock tubes to explore phenomena like diffracting shock waves, blast wave interactions with objects, and noise mitigation. The study and comprehension of compressible vortex loops and their interactions have historically relied heavily on optical techniques, lacking comprehensive insight into the intricate flow dynamics. Nevertheless, the advancements in flow visualisation tools and computational capabilities in the 21st century have significantly aided scientists in scrutinising and characterising these vortex loops and their interactions in intricate detail. Unfortunately, a comprehensive review of the literature addressing compressible vortex loops originating from shock tubes, their evolution, and interactions with shockwaves and various objects, including walls, appears lacking.

Although studies in this field are still active, many new methods have not exhibited impressive advantages over a well-tuned gain scheduling-based traditional solution when dealing with a complete rigid–flexible-sloshing model, and few have been adopted for in-flight use. The conservatism in applications stems from the distinctive dynamical characteristics of launch vehicles, which are discussed in detail thereafter. However, as traditional methods also face challenges in meeting the increasing new requirements, an innovative solution, namely RTC, has gradually found its role in robust launch vehicle applications. The RTC differs from the concept of adaptive control in that it has no effect under most conventional operations but responds to certain scenarios in a timely manner, and these scenarios include unmodeled modes, unforeseen disturbances far beyond prescribed limits, and unexpected failures where the fundamental assumptions implied in the feedback control theories or design guidelines are violated. After introducing a practical architecture of RTC, three methods are reviewed and their limitations are analyzed: an adaptive gain and damping adjustment method to deal with unmodeled modes, an angular-acceleration-based active load-relief method to reduce bending moments, and online identification and reconstruction of the command mapping relationship to counter the polarity errors. The RTC introduced in the paper has been validated from an applied and computational domain by flights or simulations with high fidelity, thus effectively improving the robustness and the adaptability of launch vehicles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54553,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Aerospace Sciences","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 101028"},"PeriodicalIF":11.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
