Assessment and Optimisation of Target Acquisition using SAR Seekers on Manoeuvrable Re-Entry Vehicles

In this thesis, the achievable performance and limitations of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) seeker on an Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM) for a set of parameters has been investigated. This was achieved by modelling the dynamics of an ASBM and the constraints related to the acquisition requirements of a maritime surface target in the ...

Turbulence Modeling of Wall Jets using the Algebraic Structure Based Model

Report PRE-2628. The Algebraic Structure Based Model (ASBM) of Langer and Reynolds (2003) provides an innovative approach for modeling the turbulent stresses, while incorporating information on the structure of turbulence and providing closure for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The normal turbulent stresses, for which the ASBM has...
