Iterative physical optics method based on efficient occlusion judgment with bounding volume hierarchy technology

This paper builds a binary tree for the target based on the bounding volume hierarchy technology,thereby achieving strict acceleration of the shadow judgment process and reducing the computational complexity from the original O(N^(3))to O(N^(2)logN).Numerical results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the traditional method.It is verified in multiple examples that the proposed method can complete the convergence of the current.Moreover,the proposed method avoids the error of judging the lit-shadow relationship based on the normal vector,which is beneficial to current iteration and convergence.Compared with the brute force method,the current method can improve the simulation efficiency by 2 orders of magnitude.The proposed method is more suitable for scattering problems in electrically large cavities and complex scenarios.

Modified physical optics algorithm for near field scattering

A novel modified physical optics algorithm is proposed to overcome the difficulties of near field scattering prediction for classical physical optics. The method is applied to calculating the near field radar cross section of electrically large objects by taking into account the influence of the distinct wave propagation vector, the near field Green function, and the antenna radiation pattern. By setting up local reference coordinates, each partitioned facet has its own distinct wave front curvature. The radiation gain for every surface element is taken into consideration based on the modulation of the antenna radiation pattern. The Green function is refined both in amplitude and phase terms and allows for near field calculation. The scattered characteristics of the near field targets are studied by numerical simulations. The results show that the approach can achieve a satisfactory accuracy.

The Formation of Fringes of Equal Chromatic Order across Double Clad Fiber in the Presence of High Power Lasers

Multiple-beam fringes of equal chromatic order interferometry is a powerful technique to extract optical properties over a continuous range of spectrum. In this paper we develop a theory for the spectral shape of the fringes of equal chromatic order (FECO) that are formed across a double-clad fiber. The modified single term Sellmeier dispersion formula is used to construct the refractive index dispersion curves for the liquid, claddings, and core. Expressions for the paraxial optical path length for several rays passing through the fiber and the liquid are developed. The condition of bright fringe is applied to get an analytical expression for the spectral shape of the FECO across a double-clad fiber with an elliptical/circular inner cladding. A potential application of this theory is to determine the dispersion of Kerr constant of the claddings and the core of the fiber. To illustrate the theory and its application, simulation examples are provided and discussed.

Comprehensive optimization design of aerodynamic and electromagnetic scattering characteristics of serpentine nozzle

Comprehensive optimization design of serpentine nozzle with trapezoidal outlet was studied to improve its aerodynamic and electromagnetic scattering performance.Serpentine nozzles with different center offsets and different ratios of the bases of the trapezoidal outlet were generated based on curvature control regulation.Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)simulations have been conducted to obtain the flow field in the nozzle,and Forward-Backward Iterative Physical Optics(FBIPO)method was applied to study the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of the nozzle.Guarantee Convergence Particle Swarm Optimization(GCPSO)algorithm based on Radial Basis Function(RBF)neural network was used to optimize the geometry of the nozzle in consideration of its aerodynamic and electromagnetic scattering characteristics.The results show that the GCPSO method based on RBF can be used to optimize the aerodynamic characteristics of the internal flow and the scattering characteristics of the cavity of the serpentine nozzle with irregular outlet.The optimized model has a higher center offset and a lower ratio of the bases of the trapezoidal outlet after optimization compared to the original model.The optimized model leads to a slight change in aerodynamic performance,with a total pressure recovery coefficient increase of 0.31%and a discharge coefficient increase of 0.41%.In addition,the Radar Cross Section(RCS)decreases also by around 83.33%and the overall performance is significantly improved,with a decrease of the optimized objective function by around 38.74%.

Shape preserving topology optimization for structural radar cross section control

The purpose of this paper is to present a shape preserving topology optimization method to prevent the adverse effects of the mechanical deformation on the Radar Cross Section(RCS).The optimization will suppress the variation of RCS on the perfect conductor surface by structural design.On the one hand,the physical optics method is utilized to calculate the structural RCS,which is based on the surface displacement field obtained from the finite element analysis of the structure.The corresponding design sensitivities of topology optimization are derived analytically and solved by the adjoint method.On the other hand,the RCS variation and mechanical performance are taken into account simultaneously by extending a standard compliance-based topology optimization model.Two optimization formulations are discussed in an illustrative example,where the influences of upper limits of the compliance and the RCS variation are considered.Two more examples are further tested to show the ability and validity of the proposed optimization method.
