Wave Scattering from Rough Surfaces - Alexander G. Voronovich - Hardcover

Wave Scattering From Rough Surfaces is devoted to analytical methods for calculating wave scattering from rough but, on average, planar surfaces, with the roughness being both deterministic & statistical in nature. Along with the classical concepts, the monograph includes some new results, which were previously available only in the general literature. A systematic development of the various methods allows the results to be presented in simple & universal forms. For the benefit of the reader, all calculations are given in detail & can easily be followed. The necessary mathematical background is summarized, & further details on well-known issues, for example, the Rayleigh hypothesis, are included. Contents: Introduction.- Scattering Amplitude & Its Properties.- Helmholtz Formula & Rayleigh Hypothesis.- Small Perturbatio Method.- Kirchhoff-Tanget Plane Approximation.- "Nonclassical" Approaches to Wave Scattering at Rough Surfaces.- Waveguides with Statistically Rough Boundary in Noncorrelated Successive Relfections Approximation.Voronovich, Alexander G. is the author of 'Wave Scattering from Rough Surfaces - Alexander G. Voronovich - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780387574394 and ISBN 0387574395.
