    Influence of flap’s deflection angle on aerodynamic performance of aircraft

    Flaps, as one of the lift-augmentation devices installed on aircraft, provide sufficient lift during takeoff and landing phases. By installing flaps on the wing, the wing area can be increased, and the wing curvature can be modified. by adjusting the position of the flaps, the aircraft’s aerodynamic characteristics can be regulated. This article focuses on studying the impact of forces on trailing edge flaps during takeoff. As finding the appropriate angle of deflection is a crucial factor in improving flight efficiency, this article primarily investigates the influence of flap deflection angles on the aerodynamic forces acting on the aircraft during low-speed flight. The Flow Simulation module is utilized for the analysis of the flow field. The relation between lift and tilt angle of the flap is obtained from numerical simulations. Through the analysis, for the chosen type of flaps configuration, the optimal flap angle for takeoff is 45°. This article may offer a reference for the design of flaps.

    Miyaoka-Yau type inequalities of complete intersection threefolds in products of projective

    Geography of projective varieties is one of the fundamental problems in algebraic geometry. There are many researches toward the characteristics of Chern number of some projective spaces, for example Noether’s inequalities, the theorem of Chang-Lopez, and the Miyaoka-Yau inequality. In this paper, we compute the Chern numbers of any smooth complete intersection threefold in the product of projective spaces via the standard exact sequences of cotangent bundles. Then we obtain linear Chern number inequalities for (c_1 (X)c_2 (X))/(c_1^3 (X)) and (c_3 (X))/(c_1^3 (X)) on such threefolds under conditions of d_ij≥4 and d_ij≥6 respectively. They can be considered as a generalization of the Miyaoka-Yau inequality and an improvement of Yau’s inequality for such threefolds.

    Examining Schnorr’s protocol in the context of zero-knowledge proofs

    The rise of technology has brought with it a heightened awareness of the necessity to shield personal data and maintain exclusive access to specific knowledge. A notable solution that emerged from this consciousness is Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and, more specifically, Schnorr’s Protocol. Historically, Zero-Knowledge Proofs have a compelling lineage, tracing their roots back to the fervent discussions among cryptographers aiming to achieve a balance between information sharing and privacy. ZKPs are cryptographic methods that allow one party to prove to another that a statement is true, without revealing any specific information about the statement itself. In the midst of these developments, Schnorr’s Protocol emerged as a renowned interactive proof system. It possesses an intuitive structure that has made it pivotal in the enhancement of digital security. The typical flow of Schnorr’s Protocol begins with the prover sending a commitment to the verifier. The verifier then sends a random challenge back to the prover, who, in turn, produces a response. What’s captivating is that the verifier can ascertain the validity of the proof without gaining insight into the underlying secret. Interactive Schnorr’s Protocol involves real-time back-and-forth communication between the prover and verifier. On the other hand, the non-interactive version eliminates this need by using a cryptographic hash function, thereby streamlining the process.

    Study on wing-tip device technology

    Aircraft wings are designed to make airflow to travel faster on top and slower on bottom. The lift force is generated by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the wing due to the Bernoulli principle. The downwash also provides lift due to Newtons’ third law. The wake vortex is the consequence of the production of lift. The spinning turbulent flow at the wing tip creates induced drag, and decreases the total aerodynamic efficiency of the aircraft. A wing tip device is a piece of extension of the wing attached to the wing tip vertically upward or downward. The idea of a wing tip device comes from nature, where engineers reference the wings of different types of birds. The main purpose of this design is to counter and reduce the total drag, allowing aircraft to optimize its aerodynamic performances to reduce fuel consumption. Different wing tip devices based on their structure design have various positive impacts on the aviation industry. In this article, the origin and the applications of wing-tip devices are discussed, offering a reference for the development of wing-tip devices.

    Effect of thermal barrier coating on the thermal characteristic of turbine blade and its geometric optimization

    Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) and cooling structures are critical factors influencing the performance of aviation turbine blades. In order to investigate the effects of TBC and different cooling structures on the operating temperature and thermal stress of turbine blades, this study establishes a three-dimensional fluid-thermal-solid coupling model for aviation turbine blades. Based on this model, the study analyzes the effect of TBC thicknesses and different design architectures on the blade thermal characters, including temperature distribution and thermal stress analysis. Stress analysis is also conducted on blades with the best heat dissipation performance. The results indicate that as the thickness of the TBC increases, the blade temperature gradually decreases. Cooling channels effectively reduce turbine blade temperatures. It is also found that a reasonable increase in film cooling holes can further reduce blade temperatures. The thermal stress on the blade gradually decreases along the blade height, with the high-stress regions primarily concentrated at the junction between the blade body and the margin plate. The maximum stress is observed at the trailing edge. The conclusions of this study can provide valuable guidance for the design of aviation turbine blades with better thermal performance.

    Traditional engines and pure electric engines

    China’s oil production is not as good as before, and China’s oil production has completely failed to keep up with people’s demand for oil, and the situation of relying heavily on imports needs to be changed. The conversion rate from oil to gasoline is low, which is not conducive to the utilization of raw materials. There are many unavoidable losses during the transportation of oil. The conversion rate of traditional engines in automobiles is very low, and it cannot be improved in a short period of time. The exhaust gases emitted by conventional engines can cause serious pollution to the environment. In contrast, China has abundant power resources, and the loss of electrical energy in the transmission process is also very small. Pure electric vehicle engines are highly efficient and have the potential for further improvement. Brake energy recovery is also an important part of improving efficiency. Pure electric engines bring little pollution to the environment.

    Research on particle noise based on second-order effect

    The development of integrated circuits has gone through several stages, from the invention of transistors to the emergence of very large scale integrated circuits and system level integrated circuits. Now, the size of integrated circuits enters the nanometer level, and short-channel shot noise becomes an important issue. Short-channel shot noise increases due to factors such as device size reduction and scattering during channel formation. It has a serious impact on the performance, power consumption and reliability of integrated circuits. The formation mechanism of short channel shot noise can be explained from two aspects: one is due to the existence of thermal noise inside the channel, and the other is due to the noise caused by the shot. As the device size decreases, the channel thermal noise gradually changes into shot noise and becomes one of the main noise sources. Aiming at the noise generation mechanism, this paper proposes several methods to solve the short-channel shot noise. Through the research of short-channel shot noise and the exploration of solutions, the impact of shot noise on IC performance can be better understood and dealt with, and the development and innovation of IC technology can be promoted.
