Free Content Modeling atmospheric turbulence as a filter for sonic boom propagation

Download Article:
Atmospheric turbulence is known to alter the pressure waveform created by supersonic flight. It is challenging to predict how a particular sonic boom waveform will be affected by a particular atmospheric realization without performing intense atmospheric modeling calculations. This paper attempts to approximate the effects of turbulence as a linear FIR filter. Such a filter is estimated from real sonic boom data measured on the ground and at altitude.
