FU Hui-min, LIU Cheng-rui
2003, 18(2): 161-166.
Abstract:
The correlation coefficient ARMA(p,q)series of which mean and variance may vary with time is widely used in engineering,such as pattern recognition,fault diagnosis,signal processing,automatic control,structure response analysis and so on.The traditional correlation function stationary ARMA(p,q) model is just a special case of that.The conditional maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and exact MLE for the correlation coefficient ARMA(p,q) series are established in this paper,which can obtain its mean function,variance function and correlation coefficient function with high precision.The conditional MLE is simple and convenient for engineering application when the sample is large enough,and the exact MLE is still precise in the case of small sample. Base on analyzing in time domain,the spectral analysis of correlation coefficient ARMA(p,q) series can be done.
The Theory of Confidence Tests
FU Hui-min, LIANG Zhao-hu
2003, 18(2): 167-174.
Abstract:
The concept of confidence distribution of population characteristic is presented in this paper.Based on the confidence distribution,a new theory of confidence tests is established,which includes three kinds of tests:strong test,weak test and weak strong test.The confidence tests are based on The Law of Small Probability, while the significance hypothesis tests are based on The Law of Large Probability.Compared with hypothesis tests,the confidence tests can inspect and control the quality of products with higher precision,and overcome the disadvantage that to accept a null hypothesis may simply mean that it is not rejected by significance hypothesis tests.In addition,the application of the confidence tests can greatly improve the test precision and bring more convenience in engineering.

Effect of Downstream Pylon on Flow Field and Performance of Compressor
ZHANG Hui, ZHANG Yong-xin, LIU Huo-xing, JIANG Hao-kang
2003, 18(2): 181-185.
Abstract:
Flow fields in a low speed large scale axial compressor were measured with and without pylon in design condition and near stall condition.The 2 D calculations showed good agreement with the experiment results.The measurement and calculation results show that the flow circumferential non uniformity caused by the pylon is the main reason influencing the efficiency and stall margin.2 D numerical simulation for restaggered vane has been performed,and preliminary results indicate that proper restaggering of vane can reduce the effect of pylon on the flow field.

2003, 18(2): 235-238.
Abstract:
Measurement of suction holes' discharge coefficients Cd in an internal passage with rib turbulators and suction holes are presented.The internal passage is a rectangular channel with two opposite ribbed walls,the aspect ratio is 0.5,and the rib turbulators are arranged in a staggered way on the two wider walls.The cylindrical suction holes are 45° inclined and perpendicularly oriented,they are placed on one ribbed wall.Tests were run by varying rib tubulators' angles as 45°,60°,90° and 120°,with Reynolds numbers Re changing from 40000 to 80000 and suction ratios (SR) changing from 0.30 to 0.60.Influences of rib tuburlators angles,Reynolds number and suction ratio on Cdare studied. Results indicate:(1) Cdincreases a little along the internal passage;(2) increasing rib turbulator's angle leads to higher Cd,and the maximum Cdis obtained when the rib angle is 120°;(3) varying suction ratio contributes no remarkable effect on changing discharge coefficients;(4) Reynolds number also has no obvious influence on discharge coefficients.

2003, 18(2): 244-247.
Abstract:
Pressure transducers for pressure measurement of rotating disk surface have to rotate with the disk and this may give rise to the difficulty that measuring error may be unavoidable due to the membrane deformation caused by the centrifugal force.A real time local calibration,thus,has to be introduced for an accurate pressure measurement.A device was installed onto the test rig to generate a standard pressure source under rotating frame and this standard pressure was used for real time calibration.

2003, 18(2): 264-268.
Abstract:
The solid rocket motor (SRM) flexible joint is the main part of the flexible bearing nozzle that allows nozzle to deflect in any given direction for motor thrust vector control.It consists of elastomer rings,reinforcement rings,front and rear flanges which are concentric spherical sections bonded.The finite element method is used to analyze the strength of flexible joint under tensile load.The stress field of flexible joint under 05 MPa distributing tensile load is acquired.Because the maximal tensile stress and layer shear stress at the interface between elastomers and reinforcement rings are 234 MPa and 028 MPa respectively,thus the strength of bonded interface can satisfy the design need.

LI Xiao-dong, GAO Jun-hui
2003, 18(2): 274-278.
Abstract:
The generation and radiation of acoustic waves from a 2 D shear layer is numerically simulated by an aeroacoustic approach based on the 2 D full Euler equations.The dispersion relation-preserving (DRP) finite difference scheme is employed for space discretization and the low dissipation and low dispersion Runge Kutta (LDDRK) scheme is utilized for time integration.Numerical results show that the full Euler solutions agree well with the analytical solutions as well as the solutions by the linearized Euler equations if the amplitude of sound source is not too large.However,there is great discrepancy between the linear Euler and full Euler solutions if the strength of sound source is strong enough (140 dB).This means that the nonlinear effects can not be neglected whereas the linearized equations do not work.

ZHU Yu, LEE Chun-hian, LI Tian
2003, 18(2): 279-282.
Abstract:
A Caret inlet was studied by testing.Basic aerodynamic characteristics of the inlet at supersonic speed are presented.The total pressure recovery rapidly drops from Mach 1.6 to 2.0.No inlet/engine match point at Mach 2.0 without bypass was found due to the fact that the surge margin happened to be too narrow.Steady circumferential distortion declines from surge to critical state,nevertheless,dynamic turbulence intensity increases rapidly.Flow separations are visible in duct from critical to supercritical states,these separations stem from the intersection of two ramps and low outboard.

Abstract:
In aero engine modeling,Newton iteration method is often used to solve the non linear equations of engine model.But due to the strong non linearity of the equations,this algorithm often fails to converge at some points of the full envelope.In order to solve this problem,this article proposes a method to avoid iteration.Several variables and equations of volume dynamics in aero engine are introduced as complementary variables and equations,and as a result,the whole set of equations becomes closed form and can be solved without iteration.This method has been successfully applied to a turbofan engine and the simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
