ACOUSTIC SCATTERING FROM ARBITRARILY SHAPED MULTIPLE BODIES IN HALF-SPACE - METHOD OF MOMENTS SOLUTION

In this work, the method of moments solution is applied to calculate the scattered or radiated fields from arbitrarily shaped, multiple rigid bodies located in an infinite half-space. Both cases, that is, when the bodies are away from the infinite plane and when the bodies are situated in contact with the infinite plane, have been treated. It is noted that no special treatment was required when the bodies are in actual contact with the infinite plane. The numerical technique presented in this work is simple, efficient, and accurate. Numerical results are presented for certain canonical shapes and compared with alternate formulations.
