Far Field Scattering from Bodies of Revolution
نویسنده
چکیده
By use of approximations based on physical reasoning radar cross-section results for bodies of revolution are found. In the Rayleigh region (wavelength large with respect to object dimensions) approximate solutions are found. Examples given include a finite cone, a lens, an ellipticogive,.a spindle and a finite cylinder. In the physical optics region (wavelength very small with respect to all radii of curvature) Kirchhoff theory and also geometric optics can be used. When the body dimensions are only moderately large with respect to the wavelength, Fock or Franz theory can be applied, and examples of the circular and elliptic cylinder are presented. In the region where some dimensions of the body are large with respect to the wavelength and other dimensions are small with respect to the wavelength, special techniques are used. One example, the finite cone, is solved by appropriate use of the wedgelike fields locally at the base. Another example is the use of traveling wave theory for obtaining approximate solutions for the prolate spheroid and the ogive. Other results are obtained for cones the base perimeter of which is of the order of a wavelength by using known results for rings ot the same perimeter.

A Pseudospectral Method for Time-Domain Computation of Electromagnetic Scattering by Bodies of Revolution
We present a multi-domain pseudospectral method for the accurate and efficient time-domain computation of scattering by body-of-revolution (BOR) perfectly electrically conducting objects. In the BOR formulation of the Maxwell equations the azimuthal dependence of the fields is accounted for analytically through a Fourier series. The numerical scheme in the (r, z)-plane is developed in general c...

| A new symmetric formulation of the Hybrid Finite Element Method(HFEM) is described which combines elements of the Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE) and the Magnetic Field Integral Equation (MFIE) for the exterior region along with the nite element solution for the interior problem. The formulation is applied to scattering by inhomogeneous bodies of revolution. To avoid spurious modes in...
متن کاملJointed Rock Mass Effects on the Seismic Waves Scattering from the Canyon Sites in the Dam's Support
Seismic study of canyon sites has always been one of the important fields of seismic studies because of massive structures such as dams that are built in such sites. Jointed rock mass in rock canyon sites is one of the main site effects that can change the seismic waves. In this research, we studied the influence of this factor on the scattering of seismic waves. To fulfil this goal, we employe...

This paper presents 2-D finite volume method for computation of viscous drag based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations. Computations are performed on bare submarine hull DREA and six axisymmetric bodies of revolution with a number of length-diameter (L/D) ratios ranging from 4 to 10. Both structured and unstructured grids are used to discretize the domain around the bodies. Diff...
