Approximations to wave propagation through doubly-periodic arrays of scatterers
نویسنده
چکیده
The propagation of waves through a doubly-periodic array of identical rigid scatterers is considered in the case that the field equation is the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to obtain the dispersion relation corresponding to wave propagation through an array of scatterers of arbitrary shape that are each small relative to both the wave length and the array periodicity. The results obtained differ from those obtained from homogenization in that there is no requirement that the wave length be much smaller than the array periodicity, and hence it is possible to examine phenomena, such as band gaps, that are associated with the array periodicity.

Propagation of elastic waves through a lattice of cylindrical cavities
We consider the wave propagation through a doubly-periodic array of cavity cylinders in an isotropic elastic medium using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, based on the assumptions that the scatterer size is much smaller than both the wavelength and the array periodicity. There is no restriction on the wavelength relative to the array periodicity, and hence the method yields explicit...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis of Wave Propagation through Rows of Scatterers via Random Sampling and a Coherent Potential Approximation
A method is proposed to determine the modal spectra of waves supported by arrays, which are composed of multiple rows of scatterers randomly disordered around an underlying periodic configuration. The method is applied to the canonical problem of arrays of identical small acoustically-soft circular cylinders, and disorder in the location of the rows. Two different approaches are adopted to calc...
متن کاملWaves around almost periodic arrangements of scatterers: Analysis of positional disorder
Much is known about the propagation of waves through periodic arrangements of identical scatterers, such as through a photonic crystal. Here, we consider a simple realization: scalar waves through a regular two-dimensional array of identical small circles. We are interested in the effect of random disorder: the circles remain identical, but their centres are given small random displacements. We...
متن کاملApproximations to wave propagation through a lattice of Dirichlet scatterers
A scheme of matched asymptotic expansions is used to obtain approximations to the dispersion relation when waves, governed by the Helmholtz equation, propagate through a two-dimensional lattice of scatterers on each of which a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed. The scatterers must be identical, but can be of any shape as long as each is small relative to the wavelength and the...
متن کاملTransmission through and Wave Guidance on Metal Plates Perforated by Periodic Arrays of Through-holes of Subwavelength Coaxial Cross- Section
Perfect electrically conducting (PEC) plates perforated by doubly periodic arrays of through-holes of subwavelength coaxial cross-section permit enhanced transmission of plane waves and support surface wave guidance. The transmission enhancement is attributed to coupling of free-space fields to TEM and TE11 modal fields in holes and occurs via two distinct mechanisms. The first couples incident...
