Many-body wave scattering problems in the case of small scatterers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Formulas are derived for solutions of many-body wave scattering problems by small particles in the case of acoustically soft, hard, and impedance particles embedded in an inhomogeneous medium. The case of transmission (interface) boundary conditions is also studied in detail. The limiting case is considered, when the size a of small particles tends to zero while their number tends to infinity at a suitable rate. Equations for the limiting effective (self-consistent) field in the medium are derived. The theory is based on a study of integral equations and asymptotics of their solutions as a → 0. The case of wave scattering by many small particles embedded in an inhomogeneous medium is also studied.

A collocation method for solving integral equations
A collocation method is formulated and justified for numerical solution of the Fredholm second-kind integral equations. As an application the Lippmann-Schwinger equation is considered. The results obtained provide an error estimate and a justification of the limiting procedure used in the earlier papers by the author, dealing with many-body scattering problems in the case of small scatterers, a...
متن کاملScattering by many small inhomogeneities and applications
Many-body quantum-mechanical scattering problem is solved asymptotically when the size of the scatterers (inhomogeneities) tends to zero and their number tends to infinity. A method is given for calculation of the number of small inhomogeneities per unit volume and their intensities such that embedding of these inhomogeneities in a bounded region results in creating a new system, described by a...
متن کاملElectromagnetic wave scattering by many small perfectly conducting particles of an arbitrary shape
New physical phenomena are predicted in the medium in which many small perfectly conducting particles are embedded: a change in the refraction coefficient, which may become spatially inhomogeneous, and a matrix differential conductivity operator which appears in the region, where the small conducting bodies are embedded. An analytical formula is derived for the electromagnetic (EM) field scatte...

The small scatterers can be 3 particles whose physical properties are described by the boundary impedances, or they can 4 be small inhomogeneities, whose physical prope...
متن کاملMathematical foundations of wave scattering from a discrete scatterer
In this paper, we present a derivation of some of the fundamental mathematical relations needed to study wave propagation and scattering in a medium containing randomly distributed scattering bodies in some constant background medium. Speci cally, we examine wave scattering from a single particle through the reduced wave equation or Helmholtz equation. This basic physical framework gives us the...
