Experiments using a precessing liquid-filled oblate spheroid with ellipticity ( a − b )/ a =1/400 extend and clarify earlier research. They yield flow data useful for estimating flows in the Earth's liquid core. Observed flows illustrate and confirm a nearly rigid liquid sphere with retrograde drift and lagging a cavity (mantle) axis in precession. The similarities of the observed lag angle with that computed for a rigid sphere, and earlier energy dissipation research both support the use of a rigid sphere analytical model to predict energy dissipation and first-order flow within the core–mantle boundary (CMB). Second-order boundary layer and interior cylindrical flow structures also are photographed and measured. Interior flows are never turbulent or unstable at near-Earth parameters, although complex and transient flow patterns are observed within the boundary layer. Other mechanisms proposed to explain net heat loss from the Earth and maintenance of the geodynamo typically require acceptance of some critical but unproven premise. Precession and CMB configuration are known with certainty and precision. Analytical difficulties have been the obstacle. Experiments illustrate the consequences of precession and ellipticity, provide criteria for validating analytical and numerical models, and may yield direct knowledge of the Earth's deep interior with careful scaling. 相似文献
Results of the analysis of the Comet Halley spectrophotometry,which has been carried out by H.K. Nazarchuk in 1985 with the
TVscanner of the 6-meter telescope (SAO, Russia) are presented. Timevariations in the intensities of the CN, CH, C2 and NH2bands were investigated using the series of spectra obtained inthe spectral region λλ=410÷ 510 nm. Theauto-correlation functions
for all the bands, thecross-correlation functions for C2 lines and their Fouriertransformations are calculated to determine the frequencies andperiods of the variations. A possibility
is considered thathigh-amplitude fast variations of spectral lines in Comet Halleyare caused by solar flares. The daily numbers
of solar spots andproton fluxes with energies of more then 1 MeV are compared withthe spectral variations of these lines.
It is shown that in theobservation periods the comet was projected onto an active regionof the Sun, but, among all the kinds
of solar activity, mainlythe solar proton flux with energies less than 4 MeV coincides intime with fast intensity variations
in the spectral lines. Analgorithm of cross-correlation analysis of discrete samplingseries with gaps is built, and average
cross-correlation coefficientsare calculated. 相似文献
The observation light curves of the main belt asteroid (469) Argentina, obtained on March 9–11 2002 and August 10–11 2004, are presented in this paper. The complex light curve of the (469) suggests that it may be in NPA rotation. Using the Fourier analysis method, some prominent spectrum values are derived individually for two subset data. Among these period values, periods of 13.00 and 8.74 h are regarded as basic components. Other derived period values can be combined linearly with these two basic period values. If the (469) is in a free-force precession mode, the motion mode will be LAM (largest-axis mode) according the ratio of precession and rotation periods. And the minimum of I1/I3 (ratio of the largest and smallest principal momentum of inertial) is 3.05. Assuming an external torque releasing by a satellite forces the (469) to precess, the mass of satellite roughly is the same order as the primary’s on condition that the precession and rotation periods are two basic values. At present, we cannot draw an unambiguous conclusion on (469)’s motion for sparse data, So the further observations are necessary for understanding the (469)’s tumbling motion farther. 相似文献
Using Altera's Quartus Ⅱ, Nios Ⅱ IDE and Sopc Builder development tools, the proton precession magnetometer principle host hardware platform is designed in a cyclone Ⅱ series FPGA chip (EP2C35). The proton precession magnetometer principle host core circuit's single-chip system-logic design is achieved by building and configuring the Nios Ⅱ soft-core processor, developing the IO interface and sensor control circuits, programming some hardware units' VHDL code, for example the equal precision cymometer and the DPLL. Through researching the embedded operating system configuration technology and building the NIOS Ⅱ soft-core processor's μClinux cross-compile environment, the μClinux system is transplanted to the NIOS Ⅱ environment. Another important task is writing the device drivers' and user programs' code. Through these work, the design realize the host function and achieve the expected target.
