Predictions of the insertion loss of such surfaces has involved the use of computationally intensive numerical methods such as the Boundary Element Method (BEM) or Finite difference techniques (FDTD and PSTD). By considering point-to-point propagation above regularly spaced acoustically hard grooves with rectangular cross sections, a modal model used hitherto to predict electromagnetic and ultrasonic surface waves is adapted to derive an effective impedance for such a grooved surface. When this effective impedance is used in the classical theory for propagation from a point source above an impedance plane, the modal model enables predictions of excess attenuation spectra that compare closely with those obtained by numerical methods but take a fraction of the time. Also the modal method is extended to predict excess attenuation spectra above phase gradient metasurfaces with porous material in each constituent groove.","PeriodicalId":92460,"journal":{"name":"The quarterly journal of mechanics and applied mathematics","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79985019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the former, the bathymetry is discretised into short sections of constant depth connected by vertical steps. Scattering across the bathymetry is calculated from the product of \u0000<tex>$2 times 2$</tex>\u0000 transfer matrices whose entries encode scattering properties at each vertical step taken in isolation from all others. In the latter, a separable depth dependence is assumed in the underlying velocity field and a vertical averaging process is implemented leading to a second-order ordinary differential equation (ODE). In this article, the step approximation is revisited and shown to be equivalent to an ODE describing a depth-averaged model in the limit of zero-step length. The ODE depends on how the solution to the canonical vertical step problem is approximated. If a shallow water approximation is used, then the well-known linear shallow water equation results. If a plane-wave variational approximation is used, then a new variant of the mild-slope equations is recovered.","PeriodicalId":92460,"journal":{"name":"The quarterly journal of mechanics and applied mathematics","volume":"73 1","pages":"84-100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/qjmam/hbaa002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49963674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An attractive feature of the approximant is that it may be constructed quickly by recursion compared with traditional Padé approximants that require a matrix inversion. The accuracy of the approximant is verified by numerical solutions, and benchmark numerical values are obtained that characterize the asymptotic behavior of the Falkner–Skan solution at large distances from the wedge.","PeriodicalId":92460,"journal":{"name":"The quarterly journal of mechanics and applied mathematics","volume":"73 1","pages":"36-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/qjmam/hbz021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49963673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we assume that the undisturbed medium is spatially variable and the density of a gas is decreasing towards the axis/centre according to a power law. In the present work, we have used the perturbation technique to the implosion problem and obtained a global solution that also admits Guderley’s asymptotic solution in a very good agreement which holds only in the vicinity of the axis/centre of implosion. The similarity exponents together with their corresponding amplitudes are determined by expanding the flow parameters in powers of time. We also refined the leading similarity exponents near the axis/centre of convergence. We compared our calculated results with the already existing results and found them in good agreements up to two decimal places. Shock position and flow parameters are analysed graphically with respect to the variation of values of different parameters. It is observed that an increase in the density variation index, adiabatic exponent and Van der Waals excluded volume, causes the time of shock collapse to decrease due to which the shock acceleration gets increased and shock reaches the axis/centre much faster.","PeriodicalId":92460,"journal":{"name":"The quarterly journal of mechanics and applied mathematics","volume":"73 1","pages":"101-118"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/qjmam/hbaa003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48872698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method of separation of variables in conjunction with the addition theorems is employed in the elliptical coordinates. The wavefunctions are represented in terms of radial and angular Mathieu functions. The method of images is applied to consider the effect of the infinitely long flat boundaries which are perfectly reflecting: either rigid or pressure release. The wedge angle is \u0000<tex>$pi/n$</tex>\u0000 rad with integer \u0000<tex>$n$</tex>\u0000; image ellipses must be appropriately rotated to realise the mirror reflection. Then, the ‘image conditions’ are developed to reduce the number of unknowns by expressing the unknown expansion coefficients of image scattered fields in terms of real counterparts. Use of image conditions, therefore, leads to the \u0000<tex>$4n^2$</tex>\u0000-fold reduction in the size of a matrix for direct solvers and \u0000<tex>$2n$</tex>\u0000-times faster computation in building the system of linear equations than the approach without using them. Multiple scattering models using image conditions are formulated for rigid, pressure release and fluid ellipses under either plane- or cylindrical-wave incidence, and are numerically validated by the boundary element method. Furthermore, potential applications are presented: arrays of elliptically shaped scatterers make in situ tunable noise barriers by rotating scatterers. Finally, polar-coordinate image conditions (for circular objects) are also discussed when coordinates local to circles are also rotated. In Appendix, analytic formulae are provided, which permits the elliptical-coordinate addition theorems used in this article to be calculated by summation instead of numerical integration.","PeriodicalId":92460,"journal":{"name":"The quarterly journal of mechanics and applied mathematics","volume":"73 1","pages":"142-175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/qjmam/hbaa005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45211780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
