Abstract:

Based on the hypersonic plasma flow field data calculated by different chemical reaction kinetics models and turbulence models, a 3D time-varying Piecewise Linear JE Recursive Convolution Finite-Difference Time-Domain (PLJERC-FDTD) method is applied to explore the interaction between electromagnetic wave and plasma flow field of a typical hypersonic vehicle. The electromagnetic scattering characteristics of hypersonic vehicle plasma flow field under different chemical reaction dynamics models, different turbulence models and different electromagnetic wave frequencies were compared and analyzed. For different chemical reaction dynamic models, the backward Radar Cross-Section (RCS) of plasma flow field calculated by Park model and Gupta model are close to each other, and are both smaller than the backward RCS of plasma flow field calculated by D&K model. The electromagnetic scattering characteristics considering turbulence effects are more complex than those of laminar flow field. The backward RCS fluctuates more sharply along with frequency varying, and the influence of turbulence effect on electromagnetic scattering gradually decreases with the increase of altitude.

Key words: electromagnetic scattering, plasma, finite-difference time-domain method, chemical reaction kinetics models, turbulence models, radar cross-section
