摘要
虽然一致性几何绕射理论(UTD)理论上可以应用于由非均匀有理B样条(NURBS)建模的任意形状的曲面,但UTD表面衍射场的计算中有一个巨大挑战,即难以确定爬行波在任意形状的NURBS表面上传播的测地线路径。在微分几何中,测地路径满足测地微分方程(GDE)。因此,引入了一种通用且高效的自适应变量欧拉法来解决任意形状的NURBS曲面上的GDE。与传统的欧拉法相比,所提出的方法采用形状因子(SF)ξ来有效提高跟踪精度,并扩展了UTD在实际工程中的应用。算法的有效性和有用性可以通过数值计算结果进行验证。
Although the uniform theory of diffraction(UTD) could be theoretically applied to arbitrarily-shaped convex objects modeled by non-uniform rational b-splines( NURBS), one of the great challenges in calculation of the UTD surface diffracted fields is the difficulty in determining the geodesic paths along which the creeping waves propagate on arbitrarily-shaped NURBS surfaces. In dif-ferential geometry, geodesic paths satisfy geodesic differential equation( GDE). Hence, in this paper, a general and efficient adaptive variable step Euler method is introduced for solving the GDE on arbitrarily-shaped NURBS surfaces. In contrast with conventional Euler method, the proposed method employs a shape factor( SF) ξ to efficiently enhance the accuracy of tracing, and extends the application of UTD for practical engineering. The validity and usefulness of the algorithm can be verified by the numerical results.
