Near Field Pressure for an Infinite Phased Array of Circular Pistons,

Abstract

The near field pressure and the radiation impedance for an infinite phased array of circular pistons (with the same velocity magnitude) in a rigid plane baffle are calculated. A slowly convergent infinite series expression for the pressure, obtained from the appropriate Green's function, is transformed by the use of the Poisson's sum formula into a more rapidly convergent infinite series expression. Numerical results are presented. A rough estimate of the location and value of the maximum pressure in the near field is obtained under certain restrictions. The radiation impedance of a piston in the infinite array agrees well with the average radiation impedance of a piston in a large finite array. (Author)
