Abstract

Warships widely spread numerous chaffs using a blast, which form chaff clouds that create false radar cross-sections to deceive enemy radars. In this study, we established a numerical framework based on a one-way coupling of computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method to simulate the spatiotemporal distribution of chaff clouds for warships in the air. Using the framework, we investigated the effects of wind, initial chaff cartridge angle, and blast pressure on the distribution of chaff clouds. We observed three phases for the chaff cloud diffusion: radial diffusion by the explosion, omnidirectional diffusion by turbulence and collision, and gravity-induced diffusion by the difference in the fall speed. The wind moved the average position of the chaff clouds, and the diffusion due to drag force did not occur. The direction of radial diffusion by the explosion depended on the initial angle of the cartridge, and a more vertical angle led to a wider distribution of the chaffs. As the blast pressure increased, the chaff clouds spread out more widely, but the distribution difference in the direction of gravity was not significant.

수많은 함정용 채프들은 폭발에 의해 확산되어 채프운을 형성하며, 채프운은 허위 레이더 반사 단면적을 생성하여 적의 레이더를 기만한다. 본 논문에서는 전산유체역학-이산요소법 단방향 연동 기법을 기반으로 공기 중에 분포하는 함정용 채프운의 시공간 분포를 해석하는 수치적 프레임워크를 구축하고 바람의 방향과 속도, 채프 카트리지의 초기 각도와 폭발 압력이 채프운 분포에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 채프운의 확산은 폭발에 의한 방사형 확산, 난류와 충돌에 의한 전 방향 확산, 낙하 속도 차이에 의한 중력 방향 확산과 같이 세 단계로 구분되는 것을 확인하였다. 바람은 채프운의 평균 위치를 이동시켰으며, 항력에 의한 확산 효과는 나타나지 않았다. 카트리지 초기 각도에 따라 폭발에 의한 방사형 확산 방향이 달라졌으며, 각도가 지면과 수직에 가까울수록 더 넓게 확산되었다. 폭발 압력이 증가할수록 채프운은 더 넓게 확산되었으나 중력 방향으로는 분포 차이가 작았다.
