Electromagnetic wave scattering by small bodies

A reduction of the Maxwell’s system to a Fredholm second-kind integral equation with weakly singular kernel is given for electromagnetic (EM) wave scattering by one and many small bodies. This equation is solved asymptotically as the characteristic size of the bodies tends to zero. The technique developed is used for solving the manybody EM wave scattering problem by rigorously reducing it to s...

Wave scattering by many small bodies

Abstract Wave scattering by many (M = M(a)) small bodies, at the boundary of which an interface boundary condition is imposed, is studied. Smallness of the bodies means that ka << 1, where a is the characteristic dimension of the body and k = 2π λ is the wave number in the medium in which small bodies are embedded. Equation for the effective field is derived in the limit as a → 0, M(a)→∞, at a ...

Many-body wave scattering by small bodies

Acoustic or electromagnetic EM wave scattering by one or several bodies is usually studied by reducing the problem to solving some integral equations. In this paper we show that if the bodies are small in comparison with the wavelength, then the scattering problem can be reduced to solving linear algebraic systems with matrices whose elements have physical meaning. These elements are electrical...

Numerical simulations of wave breakings around a wedge- shaped bow

Flows around a wedge-shaped bow are simulated with the aim of investigating the wave breaking mechanism and small scale features of ship bow waves. The wedge geometry used in the experimental study of Waniewski et al. (2002) is chosen with the flow conditions at Re = 1.64×10 5 and Fr = 2.93. The bow wave structure, wave breaking process and air entrainment are studied. The predicted overall bow...
