The sea clutter phenomenon is investigated from a different perspective by using the finite element domain decomposition (FEDD) method, which is a full-wave numerical method based on the decomposition of the problem into sub-problems with the help of the locally-conformal perfectly matched layer (LC-PML) approach. The numerical model developed in this work provides the means to investigate the sea clutter phenomenon by a full-wave Maxwell solver, although the electrical size of computational domain is formidably large. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to obtain some statistical properties of reflectivity. The results are compared with those obtained from existing empirical models and measured data for different polarizations, frequencies, grazing angles and wind speeds (or sea states). It is numerically shown that the probability distribution of the clutter signal power appears to follow the gamma distribution. Furthermore, the concept of ergodicity, which means that the statistical results obtained by ensemble averaging in a single cell are equivalent to those obtained by spatial averaging over a set of consecutive range cells in a radar system, is examined. It is observed from the numerical results that the behavior of the sea clutter random field is consistent with the ergodicity hypothesis. Some conclusions are drawn about the statistical behavior of the sea surface reflectivity. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Questioning Degree of Accuracy Offered by the Spectral Element Method in Computational Electromagnetics Mahariq, I.; KURT, HAMZA; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2015-07-01) In this paper, a comparison amongst the spectral element method (SEM), the finite difference method (FDM), and the first-order finite element method (FEM) is presented. For the sake of consistency, the comparison is carried out on one-dimensional and two-dimensional boundary value problems based on the same measure of error in order to emphasize on the high accuracy gained by the SEM. Then, the deterioration in the accuracy of the SEM due to the elemental deformation is demonstrated. Following this, we try ...
Refining technique for multilevel graph k-partitioning and its application on domain decomposition non overlapping Schwarz technique for urban acoustic pollution Faucard, B.; Sorguç, Arzu; F., Magoules; I., Hagiwara (2009-06-01) It is known that convergence rate of Domain Decomposition Method for finite element analysis depends on the mesh decomposition quality. In this study, a new approach for refinement algorithm to be employed in mesh segmentation is presented Method is based on multilevel quadrisection and octasection graph partitioning. In this method, the connection is guaranteed first by detecting the disconnected parts and then through the algorithm, assigning them to the domain which mostly contain the mesh of interest. H...
Least-squares finite element solution of Euler equations with H-type mesh refinement and coarsening on triangular elements AKARGUN, Hayri Yigit; Sert, Cüneyt (2014-01-01) Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate successful use of least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) with h-type mesh refinement and coarsening for the solution of two-dimensional, inviscid, compressible flows.
Modeling and Analysis of Sea Clutter by a Novel Numerical Method Özgün, Özlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (null; 2019-07-24) The statistical behavior of sea clutter is obtained by employing a numerical method, which is called Finite Element Domain Decomposition (FEDD) method, in conjunction with the Monte Carlo technique. In the FEDD method, the computational domain is divided into a number of subdomains, and hence, the computational load decreases. The results of Monte Carlo simulations are compared with the results of some empirical approaches and measurement data for different polarizations and grazing angles.
Electromagnetic scattering from cluster of spheres using diagonalized vector addition theorem Atasoy, Halil İbrahim; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Our aim is to implement an FMM (Fast Multipole Method) solver using the approach given by Chew [35] for diagonalization of vector addition theorem. Scatterer bodies will be modeled as ensemble of smaller spheres with same constitutive properties and then will be analyzed using the FMM solver. For general scattering problems, it is hard to obtain an analytical solution. There are only some special cases where exact solutions are possible. Hence, for the investigation of problems where numbers of scatterers a...
