The objective of this article is to illustrate the possibilities of the boundary integral method in the analysis of acoustic scattering by the structure of a space launcher. Such an analysis is important in situations where the sound field reaches critical levels at takeoff. In these circumstances an increase in amplitude associated with reflection and scattering must be estimated with precision.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
