Investigation on the Opposing Jet in the Hypersonic Rarefied Flow over a Vehicle Based on the DSMC Method

open access: yesActuators, 2022
In this paper, an opposing jet is applied to the space shuttle arc leading edge and the lifting body cone leading edge in the hypersonic condition of the rarefied flow field.

The importance of biodiversity components differs among wood‐based material Nature's contributions to people (NCP) in a tropical montane ecosystem

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can influence forest productivity, but this does not necessarily translate into higher provision of wood‐based Nature's contributions to people (NCP), as only a subset of the wood produced is used for each NCP. Biodiversity–NCP relationships therefore require further assessment.

Hypersonic aerodynamics on thin bodies with interaction and upstream influence [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
In the fundamental configuration studied here, a steady hypersonic free stream flows over a thin sharp aligned airfoil or flat plate with a leading-edge shock wave, and the flow field in the shock layer (containing a viscous and an inviscid layer) is ...

The Effects of Compression Direction on the Performance of a Two-Dimensional Inlet Mounted on the Aft Body

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The aft-body mounted inlet of a hypersonic vehicle has garnered attention for its potential to shorten the propulsion system. This study aims to explore the influence of compression direction on the performance of the hypersonic inlet attached to the ...

Mach 4 Simulating Experiment of Pre-Cooled Turbojet Engine Using Liquid Hydrogen

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
This study investigated a pre-cooled turbojet engine for a Mach 5 class hypersonic transport aircraft. The engine was demonstrated under takeoff and Mach 2 flight conditions, and a Mach 5 propulsion wind tunnel test is planned.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Preparing to Fight the ‘Wrong War’? Why the UK Defence Budget Must Focus More on ‘National Resilience’

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article argues that the current debate over defence spending in the United Kingdom is fundamentally flawed. Too much emphasis is being placed on preparing for a form of warfare with Russia that is unlikely to occur. As this article points out, the Russians actually want to avoid a traditional battlefield confrontation with NATO.

Evolving Geopolitics and Japan's Economic Security–Trade Nexus: ‘New Capitalism’ as a Balancing Act?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amid intensifying geopolitical tensions, governments increasingly perceive economic interdependence as a strategic vulnerability. Japan, situated geopolitically between two great powers—the United States and China—attempts to navigate geopolitics by prioritising economic security.

Future Prospects for Hypersonic Flight Test For University Students [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The transport to space of satellites and experiments with conventional expandable rockets is a very expensive and time demanding business and therefore almost prohibitive for Universities and High-School or Colleges laboratories.
