The Narrow-V Wake
نویسنده
چکیده
The narrow-V ship wake in a radar image is typically a bright V-shaped or wedge-like return with an angle of a few degrees. It is often seen in images from satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), especially when the ship is traveling in a direction close to the SAR track and when the wind is light. Though explanation for the narrow-V wake exists already, it has been recognized from the time of Seasat that the model is deficient at microwave frequencies higher than L-band. The purpose of this paper is to describe a new model for the narrow-V wake based on the theory of unsteady moving sources. It overcomes the deficiency and implies that the narrow-V wake could be useful for ship classification purposes.

Application of a One-Dimensional Computer Model to Flood Routing in Narrow Rivers
This paper deals with the development of a computer model for flood routing in narrow rivers. Equations describing the propagation of a flood wave in a channel-flood plain system are presented and solved using an implicit finite difference scheme. Particular emphasis has been given to the treatment of the friction term in the governing equation of motion.
متن کاملApplication of Narrow-Bore HPLC Columns in Rapid Determination of Sildenafil Citrate in Its Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms
A special type of silica-based columns has been recently introduced into the market which is called narrow-bore columns. They have lower internal volume than the standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) columns and thus reduce the solvent consumption by almost 80%. A simple, accurate and environmentally friendly reversed phase- HPLC (RP-HPLC method) which could be used in ...

متن کاملAcoustic imaging of surface ship wakes
Techniques for three-dimensional visualization of a surface ship bubbly wake using a high-frequency narrow beam profiling sonar are reported. Instrumentation, experimental set-up, and data processing are described. An Imagenex profiling sonar is mounted on the side of a boat at about 1 m below the water surface. The narrow pencil beam scans the water through the sectors whose plane is perpendic...
متن کاملExperimental study of parameters and high-order values of velocity in the behind wake of a vehicle model
In this study an experimental analysis is conducted to explore the effects of the distance placement of a trailer model on the dynamic of flow and the higher-order parameters of velocity like flatness and skeweness in the wake of a Notch back car model. In addition, the changing trends of Strouhal number and the mixed length scale are depicted. All the experiments are conducted in the aerodynam...
