Multiple Scattering from N Spheres Using Multipole Reexpansion

چکیده
Abstract. A semi-analytical technique for the solution of problems of wave scattering from multiple spheres is developed. This technique extensively uses the theory for the translation and rotation of Helmholtz multipoles that was developed in our earlier work (Gumerov & Duraiswami, 2001). Results are verified by comparison with commercial boundary element software. The method developed is likely to be very useful in developing fast algorithms for many important problems, including those arising in simulations of composite media and multiphase flow.

Computation of scattering from N spheres using multipole reexpansion.
A computational technique for the solution of problems of wave scattering from multiple spheres is developed. This technique, based on the T-matrix method, uses the theory for the translation and reexpansion of multipole solutions of the Helmholtz equation for fast and exact recursive computation of the matrix elements. The spheres can have prescribed radii, impedances, and locations. Results a...
متن کاملA New Guideline for the Allocation of Multipoles in the Multiple Multipole Method for Two Dimensional Scattering from Dielectrics
A new guideline for proper allocation of multipoles in the multiple multipole method (MMP) is proposed. In an ‘a posteriori’ approach, subspace fitting (SSF) is used to find the best location of multipole expansions for the two dimensional dielectric scattering problem. It is shown that the best location of multipole expansions (regarding their global approximating power) coincides with the med...
متن کاملComputation of scattering from clusters of spheres using the fast multipole method.
A T-matrix based method of solution of the multiple scattering problem was presented by the authors [J. Acoust Soc. Am. 112, 2688-2701 (2002)]. This method can be applied to the computation of relatively small problems, since the number of operations required grows with the number of spheres N as O(N3), and with the sixth power of the wave number. The use of iterative techniques accelerated usi...
متن کاملScattering of Acoustic and Elastic Waves Using a Hybrid Multiple Multipole Expansions-finite Element Technique
In this paper, two different methods to solve scattering problems in acoustic or elastic media are coupled to enhance their usefulness. The multiple multipole (MMP) expansions are used to solve for the scattered fields in homogeneous regions which are possibly unbounded. The finite element (FE) method is used to calculate the scattered fields in heterogeneous but bounded scatterers. As the MMP ...

A fast, accurate, and general technique for solving Maxwell’s equations in arbitrarily disposed clusters of dielectric objects is presented, based upon multiple scattering of electromagnetic multipole fields. Examples of application to the simulation of electron energy loss, radiation emission induced by fast electrons, and light scattering are offered. Large rates of Smith-Purcell radiation ar...
