Numerical simulation for 3D atmospheric turbulence field

Abstract

In view of the correlation function matrix, a 3D atmospheric turbulence field based on the Von Karman model is generated with the Monte Carlo simulation, which realizes the deduction and application of the complex Von Karman model. The ability of the simulation to approach the theoretical result is unlimited. The whitening degree of the random number sequence and the precision and efficiency of the atmospheric turbulence simulations are improved. This atmospheric turbulence field is identical with the Von Karman model for the numerical tests and has perfect statistical characteristics and simulation precision. The simulation method in this paper could be used in flight simulation.
