Radiation and scattering of sound by the boundary value method

Abstract

This chapter applies the boundary value method to solutions of the wave equation. Those treated are radiation from a pulsating infinite cylinder; radiation from an infinite line source; scattering from a rigid sphere by a plane wave and by point sources; radiation from a point source on a sphere; a spherical cap on a sphere; a rectangular cap on a sphere; a piston in a sphere; and radiation from an oscillating convex dome and from an oscillating concave dome in an infinite baffle.
