The saucer-shaped aircraft is a novel aircraft adopting blend-wing-body configuration. The linear perturbation theory based on the classic flight dynamics was used to analyze the longitudinal, lateral and directional flight qualities of the saucer-shaped aircraft under low speed conditions. The flight qualities were given. Meanwhile the aerodynamic characteristics of the saucer-shaped aircraft, the conventional aircraft and the flying wing aircraft were also contrasted to discuss their similarities and differences. The results show that the saucer-shaped aircraft has stable longitudinal mode, rollover mode and Dutch roll mode. The spiral mode is unstable. The saucer-shaped aircraft exhibits superior flight qualities and excellent comprehensive performances.

Linear Perturbation Theory

AbstractComparison of galaxy flows with those predicted from the local galaxy distribution ended as an active field after two analyses came to vastly different conclusions 25 years ago, but that was due to faulty data. All the old results are therefore suspect. With new data collected in the last several years, the problem deserves another look. The goal is to explain the 640 km/s dipole anisotropy of the CMBR. For this we analyze the gravity field inferred from the enormous data set derived from the 2MASS collection of galaxies (Huchra et al. 2005), and compare it to the velocity field derived from the well calibrated SFI++ Tully-Fisher catalog (Springob et al. 2007). Using the “Inverse Method” to minimize Malmquist biases, within 10,000 km/s the gravity field is seen to predict the velocity field (Davis et al. 2011) to remarkable consistency. This is a beautiful demonstration of linear perturbation theory and is fully consistent with standard values of the cosmological variables.

Bar Formation

ABSTRACT Using the canonical Hamilton–Jacobi approach we study the Lynden-Bell concept of bar formation based on the idea of orbital trapping parallel to the long or short axes of the oval potential distortion. The concept considered a single parameter – a sign of the derivative of the precession rate over angular momentum, determining the orientation of the trapped orbits. We derived a perturbation Hamiltonian that includes two more parameters characterizing the background disc and the perturbation, which are just as important as the earlier known one. This allows us to link the concept with the matrix approach in linear perturbation theory, the theory of weak bars, and explain some features of the non-linear secular evolution observed in N-body simulations.

Linear Perturbation Theory

ABSTRACT A new so-called ‘gravitational loss-cone instability’ in stellar systems has recently been investigated theoretically in the framework of linear perturbation theory and proved to be potentially important in understanding the physical processes in centres of galaxies, star clusters, and the Oort Cloud. Using N-body simulations of a toy model, we confirm previous findings for the dominating harmonic potential and go beyond the linear theory. Unlike the well-known instabilities, the new one shows no notable change in the spherical geometry of the cluster, but it significantly accelerates the speed of diffusion of particles in phase space leading to an early instability saturation.

Abstract The effect which a slight tilting of the liners of a supersonic wind-tunnel nozzle has on the Mach-number distribution in the test-rhombus is determined on the basis of the linear-perturbation theory of reference [1]. Experiments are reported which (a) confirm that the first-order subsonic and transonic perturbations of the flow may be neglected compared with the supersonic perturbations, and (b) indicate that appreciable effects not accounted for by the first-order theory occur when the flow possesses high local pressure gradients.

Linear Perturbation Theory

<p>Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is one of the regions of the fastest accelerating ice thinning and highest observed ice loss. The topography of the bed beneath the glacier is a key control of future ice loss, but is not currently well enough known to satisfy the requirements of ice sheet models predicting glacier behaviour. It has previously been suggested that in fast flowing ice streams the shapes of landforms at the bed should be reflected in the ice surface morphology, which is known to a much higher resolution. Indeed, recently published radar grids from Pine Island Glacier reveal bed landforms with a definite resemblance to the ice surface above them. Here, we present a new high resolution bed topography map of Thwaites Glacier, inverted from REMA and ITSLIVE data using linear perturbation theory, a mathematical formulation of this resemblance between bed and surface.  As it is based on linear physics, this method is faster than mass conservation and streamline diffusion interpolation, the two main techniques utilised by existing bed topography products in this region. Furthermore, as the theory is based on both mass and momentum balance, it provides a physically consistent estimate of elevation and basal slipperiness, in contrast to these more widely used methods. The resulting bed matches well with existing airborne and swath radar surveys, with significant detail between these radar lines. Variation in the results obtained using different reference models provides a measure of validity of the linear perturbation theory. Due to the importance of form drag in patterns of ice retreat, the inverted topographic features are potentially important for the future behaviour of Thwaites Glacier.</p>
