Learn how plane waves scatter when they meet many parallel cylinders and what that means for real‑world materials.
This work develops a framework to describe the two‑dimensional multiple scattering of electromagnetic or acoustic waves by an arbitrary configuration of parallel cylinders. It explains how to define average fields, separate coherent and incoherent parts, and connect these to observable quantities like reflection and transmission.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the impact of multiple scattering on the transmission of plane acoustic or electromagnetic waves through a homogeneous distribution of parallel cylinders. The author derives a closed-form representation for the average wave function, enabling the calculation of the average intensity and energy flux. The book also delves into the scattering cross section and differential scattering cross section, providing a comprehensive understanding of the scattering behavior of the distribution. By considering the case of isotropic scatterers, the author draws parallels to previous research and experimental observations. The theoretical framework presented in this book contributes to our understanding of wave propagation and scattering in complex media, with potential applications in acoustics, electromagnetics, and other fields.
