Diffraction of a creeping wave by the edge of a strongly elongated spheroid truncated by a plane perpendicular to its axis

Abstract

In this paper, the diffraction of a creeping wave by the edge of a truncated strongly elongated spheroid, is considered. Improved formulas for the diffracted field, based on a new asymptotic solution of Maxwell's equations, for the creeping waves propagating along the generatrixes of the spheroid, are presented.
