Abstract: | The solution for the two-dimensional (2-D) Green's function for a wedge with impedance faces is presented. The important feature of this Green's function is that there are no restrictions on the locations for the source and observation points-they can be anywhere. Its development proceeds along two separate lines: one for when the source or observation point is far from the wedge vertex and another one for when it is close. Much of the effort that has been expended in these formulations has been in obtaining forms for the Green's function which are efficient to evaluate numerically. This involved deforming the various contours of integration so that they are rapidly convergent and separating the contributions from the numerous singularities that occur in the integrands and evaluating them in closed form. The formulations that are employed here allow for the individual field components such as the diffracted, geometrical optics, and surface wave components to be identified and studied individually so that a physical understanding for the various scattering mechanisms for the impedance wedge can be appreciated |
