چکیده

This paper is concerned with the uncertainty quantification of high-frequency acoustic scattering from objects with random shape in two-dimensional space. Several new methods are introduced to efficiently estimate the mean and variance of the random radar cross section in all directions. In the physical domain, the scattering problem is solved using the boundary integral formulation and Nyström discretization; recently developed fast algorithms are adapted to accelerate the computation of the integral operator and the evaluation of the radar cross section. In the random domain, it is discovered that due to the highly oscillatory nature of the solution, the stochastic collocation method based on sparse grids does not perform well. For this particular problem, satisfactory results are obtained by using quasi–Monte Carlo methods. Numerical results are given for several test cases to illustrate the properties of the proposed approach.

On the numerical approximation of high-frequency acoustic multiple scattering problems by circular cylinders

The aim of this paper is to propose a numerical strategy for computing the solution of two-dimensional time-harmonic acoustic multiple scattering problems at high-frequency. The scatterers are assumed to be circular, leading therefore to semi-analytical representation formulae of the scattered field through the solution of a large linear system of equations. Taking advantage of the special bloc...

An efficient and highly accurate solver for multi-body acoustic scattering problems involving rotationally symmetric scatterers

A numerical method for solving the equations modeling acoustic scattering in three dimensions is presented. The method is capable of handling several dozen scatterers, each of which is several wave-lengths long, on a personal work station. Even for geometries involving cavities, solutions accurate to seven digits or better were obtained. The method relies on a Boundary Integral Equation formula...

Multiple scattering of acoustic waves and porous absorbing media.

Porous media like air-saturated polymer foams with open cells, have a nontrivial frequency-dependent absorption that arises due to viscous and thermal effects at the scale of the rigid frame microstructure. In order to produce multiple scattering at ultrasonic frequencies, mesoscale scatterers are introduced in the porous medium host. The effective wave number of such a multiscale medium should...

Finite-Element Formulation of Acoustic Scattering Phenomena with Absorbing Boundary-Condition in the Frequency-Domain

This paper discusses a finite element formulation with an absorbing boundary condition to simulate acoustic scattering phenomena in a general situation, that is, including density as well as sound velocity variations of single and multi-scatterers of arbitrary two-dimensional cross sections. In this model, a Galerkin finite element formulation is incorporated with an absorbing boundary operator...

A High Frequency Bem for Scattering by Non-convex Obstacles

Traditional numerical methods for time-harmonic acoustic scattering problems become prohibitively expensive in the high-frequency regime where the scatterer is large compared to the wavelength of the incident wave. In this paper we propose and analyse a hybrid boundary element method (BEM) for a class of non-convex polygonal scatterers. In this method the approximation space is enriched with os...
