ABSTRACT:
A method of evaluating optical disturbances occurring in a flow field around a solid body. The method includes performing a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculation to obtain a three-dimensional index-of-refraction field outside the solid body, and performing one or more ray tracing calculation based on the sindex-of-refraction field to botain a numerical estimater of the optical disturbances.
