LOW FREQUENCY SCATTERING BY SPHEROIDS AND DISCS
Abstract
The problem of scattering of a scalar plane wave by a spheroid of revolution is solved for either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, arbitrary major to minor axis ratio, and arbitrary incident direction. The solution is obtained using an iterative method applied to solutions of the corresponding potential problem and is expressed as a series of products of Legendre and trigonometric functions, and ascending powers of wave number. A recursion relation for the coefficients in this series is derived. These results are employed to calculate scattering cross sections for 2:1, 5:1 and 10:1 prolate spheroids.
