In this article, the high angle of attack (AOA) maneuver control problem is studied under multiple disturbances and uncertainties. For the first time, the switched distributed delay is constructed to characterize the unsteady aerodynamics. Based on neural networks (NNs) and hyperbolic tangent function, the disturbance observer technique is extended to the nonstrict-feedback system control. To handle the switching problem, time-delay problem, and nonstrict-feedback problem caused by switched distributed delay terms, the Lyapunov–Krasovskii (LK) functional method and a variable separation method are cleverly combined. The proposed LK function can relax the constraints on time-varying delay. Finally, a disturbance observer–based neural finite-time prescribed performance flight control law is developed to improve the flight performance at high AOA, and its effectiveness has been verified through rigorous theoretical analysis and simulation experiments.

The possibilities of applying the pure Lagrangian vortex methods of computational fluid dynamics to viscous incompressible flow simulations are considered in relation to various problem formulations. The modification of vortex methods—the Viscous Vortex Domain method—is used which is implemented in the VM2D code developed by the authors. Problems of flow simulation around airfoils with different shapes at various Reynolds numbers are considered: the Blasius problem, the flow around circular cylinders at different Reynolds numbers, the flow around a wing airfoil at the Reynolds numbers 104 and 105, the flow around two closely spaced circular cylinders and the flow around rectangular airfoils with a different chord to the thickness ratio. In addition, the problem of the internal flow modeling in the channel with a backward-facing step is considered. To store the results of the calculations, the POD technique is used, which, in addition, allows one to investigate the structure of the flow and obtain some additional information about the properties of flow regimes.

A method is presented for determining the unsteady flow field and the aerodynamic response which occurs when a finite oscillating cascade is placed in a supersonic stream, which has a subsonic velocity component normal to the cascade. Solutions are obtained through the combined use of closed-form and numerical procedures. Computed results indicate that the finite cascade analysis should provide a reasonable indication of the influence of the cascade parameters on the response of the infinite array. A brief parametric study for a typical configuration reveals possible aerodynamic instabilities when the blades perform single-degree-of-freedom pitching oscillations over a broad range of frequencies and interblade phase angles.
