Spectral and Asymptotic Analysis of Acoustic Wave Propagation.

Abstract

The report presents an exposition of the results of the author's research on acoustic wave propagation during the last five years. The principal result of this research is the 'method of spectral and asymptotic analysis' for determining the structure of acoustic waves in unbounded media. In this report the method is explained and illustrated by its application to the following four classes of acoustic wave propagation problems: Scattering by bounded obstacles in a homogeneous unlimited fluid; propagation and scattering in simple and compound tubular waveguides; propagation in plane stratified fluids; propagation in crystals.
