A NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF SCATTERING OF RADIATION OF AN ASYMMETRIC SOURCE BY CIRCULAR CYLINDER

Abstract

An asymptotic expansion obtained previously is employed to explore the limits of validity of plane wave and line source assumption for the incident wave, in the problem of scattering of waves by an infinite cylinder. Detailed numerical calculations are made in the cases where the incident wave is a plane wave, line source radiation, and slotted cylinder radiation. Curves are presented showing the variation of the amplitude of the scattered wave with respect to spacing of the source and scatterer. The effect of the directivity of a source is discussed.
