Wind Energy System Time-domain (WEST) analyzers using hybrid simulation techniques

Two stand-alone analyzers constructed for real time simulation of the complex dynamic characteristics of horizontal-axis wind energy systems are described. Mathematical models for an aeroelastic rotor, including nonlinear aerodynamic and elastic loads, are implemented with high speed digital and analog circuitry. Models for elastic supports, a power train, a control system, and a rotor gimbal system are also included. Limited correlation efforts show good comparisons between results produced by the analyzers and results produced by a large digital simulation. The digital simulation results correlate well with test data.

Hybrid simulation of the formation of a hot flow anomaly

The interaction of current sheets embedded in the upstream flow with a shock, relevant to the study of the earth's bow shock, is examined. It is shown that a hot flow anomaly (HFA) can be generated by a direct method that does not involve an instability. The HFA is shown to be due to the interaction of reflected ions with the current sheets. An important part of the interaction, pointed out by Burgess (1989), is that for a class of current sheets reflected ions are always focused toward the current sheet by the motional electric field, while for another class of current sheets the electric field defocuses reflected ions away from the current sheet. In addition, not just the behavior of reflected ions upstream of the shock but also the behavior of those behind the shock front is related to HFA formation.

The Interaction of the Solar Wind with Solar Probe Plus - 3D Hybrid Simulation. Report 2: The Study for the Distance 9.5Rs

Our paper is a 2.5D and 3D numerical plasma models of the interaction of the solar wind (SW) with the Solar Probe Plus spacecraft (SPPSC). These results should be interpreted as a basic plasma model for which the derived SW interaction with spacecraft (SC) could have consequences for both plasma wave and electron plasma measurements on board SC in the inner heliosphere. We observe an excitation of the low frequency Alfven and whistler type wave directed by the magnetic field with an amplitude of the electromagnetic field oscillation about of (0.015-0.06) V/m. The compression waves and the jumps in an electric field with an amplitude of about 1.5 V/m and (12-18) V/m were also observed. The observed strong electromagnetic perturbations may be a crucial point in the electromagnetic measurements, which were planned in future Solar Probe Plus mission.
