A complete equation of motion of coating material particles in the case of two-dimensional deformations is derived and it takes into account the viscosity of the medium. A system of equations for calculating the longitudinal and transverse dynamic compliance, determined by the ratio of the displacement components to the applied pressure, is obtained. The derived equations allow the description of not only stationary oscillations of the coating, but also the process of their stabilization. It is noted that, in addition to viscosity and Poisson ratio, stationary and dynamic compliances depend only on two parameters: the ratio of the disturbance wave velocity to the propagation velocity of shear oscillations in the coating and the ratio of the wavelength to the coating thickness. An example of calculating stationary compliance for a typical case of a silicone rubber coating is given. Attention is drawn to the need to take into account the transition period of the forced oscillation stabilization, since the coating cannot oscillate instantly due to inertia and viscosity. Known attempts to calculate this process have been analyzed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":800,"journal":{"name":"Thermophysics and Aeromechanics","volume":"32 3","pages":"579 - 589"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147872382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study rigorously investigates the aerodynamic performance of BWB aircraft, with a particular focus on lift, drag, and the impact of banking angles. Both experimental and computational methods were utilized to evaluate how banking angles affect BWB aerodynamics. The experimental study was conducted in an open-circuit wind tunnel with a 9:1 contraction ratio, while computational analysis was performed using FLUENT CFD software. Results demonstrate that the BWB configuration maintains effective lift even at elevated roll angles, though flow dynamics over the wings were disrupted during high-angle turns, with span-wise flow shift observed from port to starboard. Additionally, variations in lift and drag coefficients in response to banking angles produced significant effects on the BWB’s aerodynamic performance, with notable changes in normalized flow velocity at 0.2C height. The study highlights the underlying flow physics of the BWB configuration and confirms the consistency between experimental and computational results, validating the robustness of the findings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":800,"journal":{"name":"Thermophysics and Aeromechanics","volume":"32 3","pages":"749 - 770"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147872407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the losses at different rotational speeds during the weak magnetic control process are investigated. Next, the temperature rise of each component is compared in Fluent when different cooling channels are used during the weak magnetic acceleration process, and the optimal channel structure is selected. Further research is conducted for the 12 000 rpm operating condition, which has the highest heat dissipation demand, comparing the temperature rise of the windings and the pressure differential of the water channel at different water injection flow rates, to select the optimal flow rate. To address the insufficient cooling of the end windings by the water-cooled structure alone, an air-cooled structure is added for simulation.
