Explore an explicit solution for diffraction by a right-angled wedge with a special impedance coating.
This work presents a clear, elementary approach to finding the two‑dimensional Green's function for the reduced wave equation, offering a practical path through a classic problem in electromagnetics and acoustics.
The author introduces a novel technique that uses an auxiliary function to simplify boundary conditions, then reconstructs the original field by integrating a straightforward ordinary differential equation. The result is expressed through basic operations on simpler, well‑understood problems, making a complex topic accessible without sacrificing rigor. While focused on a rectangular wedge, the method highlights how impedance on a coated face shapes the wave field and its far‑field behavior.
Ideal for students, researchers, and practitioners working with wave diffraction, boundary value problems, and wave‑coefficient modeling in wedge geometries.
