Abstract The positioning technique employing the ubiquitous signals of opportunity of non-cooperative satellites does not send special navigation signals, instead it passively receives satellite signals as noise, presenting advantages of concealment and difficulty for potential attackers. Thus, this study investigates the ranging principle and model using non-cooperative communication satellites and a time difference estimation algorithm. The technology of time difference measurement under non-cooperative observation mode was determined and simulated. A test platform for time difference measurement was built to receive the signal from an unknown geostationary Earth orbit communication satellite and verify the ranging feasibility and performance. The ranging accuracy was found to be smaller than 6 m, as demonstrated by experimental data, which shows the viability of the proposed positioning technique for ranging technology.

Thermal Physical Properties

Groundwater velocity has significant effects on the formation of a frozen curtain during freezing. In order to study the influence of the velocity on a frozen curtain, a large physical model test platform was established for double-pipe freezing. Based on this platform, freezing tests for different velocities were carried out. Quartz sand was selected as a similar material. The freezing temperature of the saturated sand layer was found by analyzing the results of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Based on the study of the thermal physical properties of the sand layer, the freezing test results were analyzed, and the results showed that the flow led to the differential development of the temperature between the upstream and downstream sections of the freezing pipes. Moreover, the larger the velocity, the greater the difference. The flow prolonged the overlapping time of the frozen curtains. Additionally, the flow slowed down the development of the frozen curtain area and the frozen curtain thickness. The larger the flow velocity, the greater the inhibition of the flow on the development of the frozen curtain. The test results can provide more references for the design and construction of freezing engineering with flowing groundwater.

Corrosion And Oxidation

In this paper, the changes of oxidation temperature of sulfide corrosion and the deficiency of distributed optical fiber application were analyzed. The test platform of oxidation temperature of sulfide corrosion was established, and the performance test of optical fiber and the simulation of oxidation temperature of sulfide corrosion were realized. The hardware part of the control system used STM32 as the controller, the software part was based on the process characteristics of the controlled object, using MATLAB to carry out the simulation of PID, fuzzy, fuzzy PD plus I, fuzzy PID algorithms, and their performance are evaluated using both single indexes and comprehensive indexes. The experimental results also showed that the proposed fuzzy PID can achieve better control performance with less overshoot and shorter setting time. Therefore, the fuzzy PID was chosen as the temperature control algorithm to build the optical fiber sensor test platform, and an alarm method for testing the oxidation temperature of large area sulfide corrosion based on the optical fiber performance was obtained. Then, considering the influence of spatial resolution on optical fiber sensor, this paper used piecewise PID to simulate the temperature rise process of three stages of sulfurization corrosion and oxidation. The results showed that the alarm method of oxidation temperature of sulfurization corrosion has limitations for small-scale oxidation of sulfurization corrosion, and it needed to be combined with machine learning to identify temperature anomaly.
