Abstract

Consider an infinite two-dimensional acoustic waveguide containing a long rectangular obstacle placed symmetrically with respect to the centreline. We search for trapped modes, i.e. modes of oscillation at particular frequencies which decay down the waveguide. We provide analytic estimates for trapped mode frequencies and prove that the number of trapped modes is asymptotically proportional to the length of the obstacle.
