This paper presents an examination of theoretical scattering models for radar cross sections (RCS) of lossy dielectric cylinders, such as exact analytical solution, low frequency approximation (Rayleigh) and high frequency approximation (Physical Optics). The validity regions of the PO and Rayleigh models are closely examined with exact solution in terms of various wavelengths and dielectric constants of a circular cylinder. And also this paper examines the PO and Rayleigh models for back and forward scatter RCS of a cylinder at various incidence angles and polarizations. It was found that the PO and Rayleigh model have their validity regions for estimating the RCS of a circular cylinder.

경계면이 존재하는 해양에서의 수중 음파 전달 모델링 시 일반적으로 평평한 경계면을 가정하고 Rayleigh가 제안했던 반사계수를 이용해 반사파를 계산할 수 있다. 하지만 해수면이나 해저면과 같은 실제 해양의 경계면은 불규칙적인 거칠기를 가진다. 이러한 경계면에서의 반사 손실은 실험식이나 산란 이론에 기반한 간섭 반사 계수를 계산하여 구할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 섭동 이론, Kirchhoff 근사법, 작은 가지 근사법과 같은 산란 이론을 이용하여 유체-유체 경계면에 대한 간섭 반사 계수를 각각 유도한다. 이를 이용하여 임의의 거칠기를 가지는 해수면과 해저면에 대한 각 산란 이론의 간섭 반사계수를 계산하며, 이 결과를 Rayleigh 반사 계수와 비교하여 경계면의 거칠기에 따른 반사 손실을 분석한다. 또한, 섭동 이론과 Kirchhoff 근사법의 결과를 일반적으로 적용 범위가 넓은 작은 기울기 근사법의 결과와 비교하여 각 이론의 유효범위에 대해 고찰한다.

In this study, we prepare the Ag nanofluids synthesized by the chemical reduction method and measure the extinction coefficient of those nanofluids at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The Ag nanofluids are synthesized by the chemical reduction method using silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$) and sodium borohydride ($NaBH_4$) in water and ethylene glycol (EG). For stable dispersion of Ag particles in the base liquids, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is added as a surfactant. The extinction coefficient of manufactured Ag nanofluids is measured by an in-house developed measurement system at the wavelength of 632.8 nm. The results show that the extinction coefficient of water-based and EG-based Ag nanofluids is linearly increased with respect to the particle loadings. Moreover, it is shown that the extinction coefficient of EG-based Ag nanofludis is higher than that of water-based Ag nanofluids. Finally we compare the experimental results with both the Maxwell-Garnett model and Rayleigh scattering approximation model, and they demonstrate that the Rayleigh scattering approximation model is reasonably predict the extinction coefficient of Ag nanofluids using hydraulic diameter of silver nanoparticle.

The generalized Rayleigh-Gans (GRG) approximation is usually used to compute the scattering amplitudes of leaves smaller or comparable to a wavelength, while the physical optics (PO) approach with the resistive sheet approximation is commonly used for leaves larger or comparable to the wavelength. In this paper, the scattering amplitudes of an elliptical leaf are computed using those theoretical scattering models (GRG and PO) at different frequencies. The accuracies of the analytical models for microwave scattering from deciduous leaves are investigated by comparison with the precise estimation by the method of moment (MoM). It was found that both the PO approach and the GRG approximation can be used alternatively for computing the scattering matrices of natural deciduous leaves at P-, L-, C- and X-band frequencies.

In this paper, an efficient performance enhancement scheme for an adaptive antenna array under the flat and the frequency-selective Rayleigh fadings is proposed. The proposed signal enhancement scheme is the modified linear signal estimator which combines the rank N approximation by reducing noise eigenvalues(RANE) and Toeplitz matrix approximation(TMA) methods into the linear signal estimator. The proposed performance enhancement scheme is performed by not only reducing the noise component from the signal-plus-noise subspace using RANE but also having the theoretical property of noise-free signal using TMA. Consequently, the key idea of the proposed performance enhancement scheme is to greatly enhance the performance of an adaptive antenna array by removing all undesired noise effects from the post-correlation received signal. The proposed performance enhancement scheme applies at the Wiener maximal ratio combining(MRC) method which has been widely used as the conventional adaptive antenna array. It is shown through several simulation results that the performance of an adaptive antenna array using the proposed signal enhancement scheme is much superior to that of a system using the conventional method under several environments, i.e., a flat Rayleigh fading, a fast frequency-selective Rayleigh fading, a perfect/imperfect power control, a single cell, and a multicell.

본 연구에서는 복사 데이터베이스 기반의 LBL 모델과 근사 이론에 기초한 입자의 영향이 고려된 로켓 플룸의 적외선 스펙트럼 예측을 수행하였다. 로켓 플룸 내에 존재하는 가스 분자의 스펙트럼을 예측하기 위하여 고해상도 복사 데이터베이스를 이용하였다. 로켓 플룸 내에 존재하는 입자는 수트 입자로 모델링 하였으며 미 이론의 1항 근사 및 레일리 근사를 적용하였다. 두 이론의 적용에 대한 타당성을 검증하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 로켓 플룸의 적외선 스펙트럼을 예측하였다. 수트 입자의 영향을 고려함으로써 짧은 파장 영역 대에서 향상된 로켓 플룸의 스펙트럼 예측 결과가 도출되었다.

Double-diffusive convection inside a triangular porous cavity is studied numerically. Galerkin finite element method is adopted to derive the discrete form of the governing differential equations. The first-order backward Euler scheme is used for temporal discretization with the second-order Adams-Bashforth scheme for the convection terms in the energy and species conservation equations. The Boussinesq-Oberbeck approximation is used to calculate the density dependence on the temperature and concentration fields. A parametric study is performed with the Lewis number, the Rayleigh number, the buoyancy ratio, and the shape of the triangle. The effect of gravity orientation is considered also. Results obtained include the flow, temperature, and concentration fields. The differences induced by varying physical parameters are analyzed and discussed. It is found that the heat transfer rate is sensitive to the shape of the triangles. For the given geometries, buoyancy ratio and Rayleigh numbers are the dominating parameters controlling the heat transfer.

Numerical calculations are carried out for the natural convection induced by temperature difference between a cold outer square cylinder and a hot inner circular cylinder for Rayleigh number of $Ra=10^7$. This study investigates the effect of the inner cylinder location on the heat transfer and fluid flow. The location of inner circular cylinder ($\delta$) is changed vertically along the center-line of square enclosure. The natural convection bifurcates from unsteady to steady state according to $\delta$. Two critical positions of ${\delta}_{C,L}$ and ${\delta}_{C,U}$ as a lower bound and an upper bound are ${\delta}_{C,L}=0.05$ and ${\delta}_{C,U}=0.18$, respectively. Within the defined bounds, the thermal and flow fields are steady state. When the inner cylinder locates at ${\delta}{\geq}{\delta}_{C,U}$, the space between the upper surface of inner cylinder and the top surface of the enclosure forms a relatively shallow layer where the natural convection characterized as the pure Rayleigh-Benard convection forms alternately the upwelling and downwelling plums, as a result that a series of cells known as Benard cells is derived.

This work gives an application of stochastic techniques for the optimization of stiffened plates in vibration. The search strategy consists of substituting, for finite element calculations in the optimization process, an approximate response from a Rayleigh-Ritz method. More precisely, the paper describes the use of a Rayleigh-Ritz method in creating function approximations for use in computationally intensive design optimization based on genetic algorithms. Two applications are presented; their deal with the optimization of stiffeners on plates by varying their positions, in order to maximize some natural frequencies, while having well defined dimensions. In other words, this work gives the fundamental idea of using a Ritz approximation to the response of a plate in vibration instead of finite element analysis.

Numerical calculations are carried out for the natural convection induced by temperature difference between a cold outer square cylinder and a hot inner circular cylinder. A two-dimensional solution for unsteady natural convection is obtained, using the immersed boundary method (IBM) to model an inner circular cylinder based on finite volume method, for different Rayleigh numbers varying over the range of $10^4\;to\;10^6$. The study goes further to investigate the effect of an inner cylinder location on the heat transfer and fluid flow. The location of inner circular cylinder is changed vertically along the center-line of square enclosure. The number, size and formation of cell strongly depend on Rayleigh number and the position of inner circular cylinder. The changes in heat transfer quantities have been presented.
