Abstract:The conventional T-matrix method is a procedure for the computation of the far-field scattering of a plane wave by a compact but otherwise arbitrary collection of scatterers [cf. V. V. Varadan and V. K. Varadan, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 70, 213–217 (1981)]. Its strength is that the effects of multiple scattering to all orders are rigorously and self-consistently obtained from the single-scattering properties of each scatterer in a free-field environment. For acoustic waves, the T-matrix method has been extended to … Show more
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.
