Synopsis

Understanding how waves scatter off planar arrays of parallel cylinders—and what that means for real-world reflections

This book examines the two‑dimensional problem of a plane wave interacting with a planar, random distribution of parallel cylinders. It develops formal solutions, averages over configurations, and derives practical expressions for energy flux, reflection coefficients, and differential scattering cross sections. The work ties theory to applications in both electromagnetic and acoustic waves, including how a striated surface behaves near grazing incidence.

  • Learn how single and multiple scattering are modeled and summed
  • See how grazing incidence changes reflectivity and phase behavior
  • Explore closed‑form representations and their validity ranges
  • Understand how results apply to cylinders on a perfectly reflecting plane
Ideal for readers seeking a rigorous, applied treatment of wave scattering in structured media, from foundational theory to practical implications in reflection and scattering.
