Stripmap mode SAR raw data generator for ocean scene with large squint angle
A procedure for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw data generation for time-variant ocean surface is proposed. The appropriate ocean reflectivity function that takes account of the electromagnetic-ocean wave interaction is transformed on to SAR raw signal based on the distributed surface (DS) model. An efficient and accurate simulation algorithm with time-domain integration along range dimension for squint SAR raw signal is adopted. Moreover, the ocean's dynamics is accounted by means of interpolation based on the dispersion relationship of the time-variant waves. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed techniques.
On ocean SAR raw signal simulation
Simulation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw signal pertaining to an ocean scene is presented. It embodies the distributed surface model, the hydrodynamic modulation, and the Bragg dominant scattering mechanism. Simulation experiments are provided.
Far-field dispersal modeling for fuel-air-explosive devices
A computer model for simulating the explosive dispersal of a fuel agent in the far-field regime is described and is applied to a wide variety of initial conditions to judge their effect upon the resulting fuel/air cloud. This work was directed toward modeling the dispersal process associated with Fuel-Air-Explosives devices. The far-field dispersal regime is taken to be that time after the initial burster charge detonation in which the shock forces no longer dominate the flow field and initial canister and fuel mass breakup has occurred. The model was applied to a low vapor pressure fuel, a high vapor pressure fuel and a solid fuel. A strong dependence of the final cloud characteristics upon the initial droplet size distribution was demonstrated. The predicted fuel-air clouds were highly non-uniform in concentration. 18 refs., 86 figs., 4 tabs.
