Abstract
The problem of propagation of electromagnetic waves over irregular, inhomogeneous terrain is solved by a finite difference scheme. The method is fast and requires considerably less memory compared to the integral equation methods. The method requires a storage space of order 0(N) and an execution time of order 0(N2). Fields generated by a TEz line source are represented in an integral form in terms of the field over a fiat, constant impedance plane, and the field scattered by the terrain irregularities and inhomogeneities. Accurate expressions are provided for the incident field and the Green's function, whose evaluation is otherwise accomplished by the rather time-consuming Sommerfeld's integrals. Measured equation of invariance is used to terminate the mesh. The sparse matrix generated by the method is inverted using Ricatti transform. Numerical results are presented for the ground wave as well as the sky wave. Comparison is made for known geometries to establish the validity and limitations of the method

    An analysis of an eddy-resolving global ocean model in the tropical Indian Ocean 

    Long, Erik Christopher (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990);
    This paper examines the Semtner/Chervin global ocean model in the tropical Indian Ocean. The primitive equation, eddy-resolving model covers a domain from 75 deg S to 65 deg N at a horizontal resolution of 1/2 deg, with ...

    Aerodynamic Three-Axis Attitude Stabilization of a Spacecraft by Center-of-Mass Shifting 

    Chesi, Simone; Gong, Qi; Romano, Marcello (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2017-07);
    This paper proposes a spacecraft attitude control technique based on the use of center-of-mass shifting. In particular, the position vector of the spacecraft’s center of pressure with respect to the center of mass is ...
