چکیده
Abstract. The telegraph equation is employed to model wave fields taking into account energy dissipation and media stiffness. The timeharmonic scattered waves generated by a line source incident upon cylindrical obstacles of arbitrary cross-section are studied. Solutions are found to depend strongly on the relative values of the frequency, damping, and stiffness coefficients. These coefficients are also found to have a significant effect on the far-field pattern. The analytical solution for a circular cylinder is reviewed. An approximate finite-difference solution is also obtained for the case of a two-dimensional scatterer with an arbitrary cross-section. Details are given for both soft and hard boundary conditions. The main feature of the numerical scheme is its computational efficiency based on the coupling between boundary conforming grids and a curvilinear coordinates version of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann non-reflecting boundary condition.

Non -propagating Waves and Behavior of Curtainwall-pile Breakwaters
Abstract Usually, evanescent modes or non-propagating waves are produced when a propagating incident wave impinges on an interface between two media or materials such as curtainwall-pile breakwater (CPB) at a subcritical angle and decay with distance from interface. To achieve an effective prediction of hydrodynamic performance of CPB and overcome the problem of underestimation of energy loss, ...

An implicit finite volume model is developed to simulate wave interaction with a vertical porous seawall in two-dimensional vertical plane. The algorithm solves the complete Navier–Stokes equations in two steps. First the pressure term in the momentum equations is excluded and the resultant advection–diffusion equations are solved. In the second step the continuity and the momentum equations wi...
متن کاملResponse of GN Type II and Type III Theories on Reflection and Transmission Coefficients at the Boundary Surface of Micropolar Thermoelastic Media with Two Temperatures
In the present article, the reflection and transmission of plane waves at the boundary of thermally conducting micropolar elastic media with two temperatures is studied. The theory of thermoelasticity with and without energy dissipation is used to investigate the problem. The expressions for amplitudes ratios of reflected and transmitted waves at different angles of incident wave are obtained. ...
متن کاملFinite Element Methods for the Simulation of Waves in Composite Saturated Poroviscoelastic Media
This work presents and analyzes a collection of finite element procedures for the simulation of wave propagation in a porous medium composed of two weakly coupled solids saturated by a single-phase fluid. The equations of motion, formulated in the space-frequency domain, include dissipation due to viscous interaction between the fluid and solid phases with a correction factor in the high-freque...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic imaging taking into account thermodynamic attenuation
In this paper we consider a mathematical model for photoacoustic imaging which takes into account attenuation due to thermodynamic dissipation. The propagation of acoustic (compressional) waves is governed by a scalar wave equation coupled to the heat equation for the excess temperature. We seek to recover the initial acoustic profile from knowledge of acoustic measurements at the boundary. We ...
