Abstract

The two-dimensional acoustics problem of the scattering of an obliquely incident plane wave by a row of equally-spaced circular cylinders is solved using multipole expansions. The method is superior to existing techniques available for this problem as it allows the far-field behaviour of the solution to be evaluated in a straightforward manner, and extensive results for the reflection and transmission coefficients are given. The problem described above has a direct analogue in the theory of water waves and this is also discussed.
