ZHENG Human, SU Shoujun, WANG Shui, S. T. Wu
2000, 20(1): 1-9. doi: 10.11728/cjss2000.01.001
Abstract(2114) PDF 634KB(873)
Abstract:
In order to simulating the formation of coronal surges, the characteristics ofmagnetic reconnection caused by the resistive tearing instability in bipole-monopolemagnetic field are studied numerically by using a two-dimensional, time-dependent,compressible magnetohydrodynamic simulation. The results show that the magneticlines of the bipole and monopole fields will reconnect directly and the evolution ofmagnetic field leads to a whip configuration under a magnetostatic basic state whichincludes three regions ── a bipole, a current sheet and a monopole. The upwardplasmoid supported by bended magnetic field diffuses and falls back to solar surfaceafter reaching its maximum height. The upward velocity of plasmoid reaches 0.10vA(vA is Alfven velocity in bipole magnetic field). The simulated result confirms thatthe formation of coronal surges may be related closely to magnetic reconnection inbipole-monopole magnetic field.

Abstract(2093) PDF 378KB(661)
Abstract:
The effects of pressure anisotropy on the magnetic reconnection of plasma arestudied based on two-dimensional compressible MHD numerical simulation. It isfound that the growth rate of magnetic reconnection is greatly enhanced in thepresence of a small pressure anistropy (P=1.02P//). This suggests thatmirror instability and tearing instability both affect the developmentof magnetic reconnection. In a pressure anisotropy with (P=1.02P//) tearing mode is restricted and can't form large magneticislands.

Abstract(1828) PDF 458KB(1175)
Abstract:
The effects of electron ring-beam on the satellite surface potential and plasmasheath in magnetized plasma of low earth orbit are studied by means of 21/2-Delectrostatic code. The simulation results show that the satellite is charged negatively when there exists electron beam, and the increase of the density and velocityof electron beams increase the absolute value of satellite negative potential. Whenelectron ring-beams are injected in an oblique angle with respected to the magneticfield, the effects of electron ring-beams decrease when the oblique injection angleincreases from 0° to 90°. The plasma sheath becomes wider when there is electronring-beam and its shape changes from "tear drop" to "fan".

Abstract(2101) PDF 730KB(1510)
Abstract:
Effects of variations of magnitude of E×B vertical drifts and neutral windson low-latitude ionosphere are investigated by using a two-dimensional low-latitudeionospheric time-dependent theoretical model. In the model ion transport equationsare solved by using splitting technique at fixed grid points along magnetic field lines,and densities and velocities of ions are outputted on the given geomagnetic meridian.Modelling results show that the influences of adjusted magnitude of E×B verticaldrifts and neutral winds on low-latitude f0F2 are dependent on magnetic latitudeand local time. And some features not reported previously are also mentioned inthe paper.

Abstract(1679) PDF 632KB(1848)
Abstract:
Methods of single frequency carrier phase-based relative orbit determination(OD) and kinematic network OD for low-earth satellite are developed. From theresults calculated using L1 data collected by GPS/DR onboard Topex/Poseidon,we can draw following conclusions: (a) the accuracy of single frequency carrierphase-based relative OD may attain the order of a few decimeters; (b) the accuracyof relative OD depends on the data quality of ground tracking stations; (c) theaccuracy of kinematic network OD is equavalent to a weighting among relative ODsof different ground tracking stations and can improve the reliability and precisionof OD due to its redundant condition and good geometric configuration.

Abstract(1936) PDF 566KB(1052)
Abstract:
In this paper, the contact-impact problem of solar battery during the deployment of plates is studied. The equation of motion of flexible multibody systemduring impact is derived. The time histories of impact forces and the accelerationof some nodes of the plates are presented. It shows that the impact forces of thecontact points reach the peak at different time on account of the distortion of theflexible plates. It also shows that when impact occurs, the acceleration of the nodesnear the impact points airs greater than that of the other nodes, and it takes fewtime for the impact wave to spread through the nexible plates. when the impactwave reaches the nodes at the boundary of the outer plate, the acceleration of thenodes becomes greater and vibrant which leads to the swinging of the plates.

Abstract(1671) PDF 371KB(1538)
Abstract:
The chaotic planar motion of a magnetic rigid satellite in a circular orbit nearthe equatorial plane of the earth is investigated in the present paper. The existenceof chaotic motion of the satellite is predicted by using Melnikov's method and verified by numerical computation in conjunction with the Poincare map. It is shownthat the periodic disturbance of the magnetic field of the earth can cause chaoticmotion of the satellite and the increase of the disturbance can intensify the chaoticmotion.
