REFLECTION OF SOUND BY AN IMPEDANCE CORRUGATED SURFACE

(Presented by Academician L. M. Brekhovskikh, 27 IV 1970)

Let, in the \(xy\)-plane, there be located the trace of a corrugated surface periodic with period \(2c\) along the \(y\)-axis (in \(xyz\)-space, parallel to the \(z\)-axis), each period of which consists of a part of a convex curve, having an axis of symmetry parallel to the \(x\)-axis, and a part of the straight line \(x=0\) (Fig. 1).

Denote by \(D\) the region lying to the right \((x>0)\) of the above-mentioned curve, and let a plane wave be incident from the region \(D\) onto its boundary \(\partial D\)

\[ P_0=\exp[-ik(\alpha x-\beta y)] \qquad (\alpha^2+\beta^2=1) \]

with wave number \(k\) and direction cosines \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\).

Statement of the problem. It is required to find a function \(P=P(x,y;k)\), twice continuously differentiable in the region \(D\), continuous on the boundary \(\partial D\), and quadratically integrable in neighborhoods of the corner points of \(\partial D\), regular in \(k\) for \(|k|<\pi/2c\), which satisfies the following conditions: in the region \(D\), the Helmholtz equation

\[ (\Delta+k^2)P=0; \tag{1} \]

on one part of the boundary \(\partial D\) (the set of the above-mentioned convex curves \(\Gamma\)), the Neumann boundary condition

\[ \partial P/\partial n\big|_{\Gamma}=0 \tag{2} \]

(\(n\) is the normal to \(\Gamma\), directed into \(D\)); on the other part of \(\partial D\) (the set of segments of the straight line \(x=0\), \(L\)), the third boundary condition

\[ \partial P/\partial x+ikg(y;k)P\big|_{L}=0 \tag{3} \]

(\(g(y;k)\) is a function periodic with period \(2c\), continuous in \(y\), regular in \(k\) for \(|k|<\pi/2c\), satisfying the condition \(\operatorname{Re} g\geq 0\)); everywhere in the region \(D\), the quasiperiodicity condition

\[ P(x,y+2c)=P(x,y)e^{2ik\beta c}; \tag{4} \]

the Maliuzhinets radiation condition \((^1)\)

\[ \sup_D |(P-P_0)e^{-ik\beta y}|<\infty \qquad \text{for } \operatorname{Im} k>|\operatorname{Re} k|. \tag{5} \]

We note that the problem of diffraction of a plane wave by a rigid, frequently periodic corrugated surface was first posed and solved by G. D. Maliuzhinets. In the present work the method proposed by G. D. Maliuzhinets in solving the above-mentioned problem is applied.

On the basis of the fact that any solution of equation (1) satisfying conditions (4) and (5), as \(x\to 0\) and \(|k|<\pi/2c\), is representable as—

in the following form (²):

\[ P=P_0+ae^{ik(\alpha x+\beta y)}+O(e^{-\sigma x}),\qquad \sigma\geqslant \sigma_0>0 \tag{6} \]

(\(a\) is a constant), we seek the solution of problem (1)—(5) in the form

\[ P=P_0+\frac{\alpha+iB(\alpha,\beta;k)}{\alpha-iB(\alpha,\beta;k)}e^{ik(\alpha x+\beta y)} +\frac{2\alpha u(x,y;k)}{\alpha-iB(\alpha,\beta;k)}e^{ik\beta y}. \]

Next, substituting \(P\), as defined by the last equality, into conditions (1)—(5), we reformulate the diffraction problem posed above as the following boundary-value problem for the function \(u\):

\[ \left(\Delta+2ik\beta\frac{\partial}{\partial y}+k^2\alpha^2\right)u=0,\qquad (x,y)\in D; \tag{7} \]

\[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial n}+ik\beta\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}u\bigg|_{\Gamma} =-ik\beta[\cos(k\alpha x)-B\sin(k\alpha x)/\alpha]\frac{\partial y}{\partial n} +k[\alpha\sin(k\alpha x)+B\cos(k\alpha x)]\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\bigg|_{\Gamma}; \tag{8} \]

\[ \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+ikgu\bigg|_{L}=k(B-ig); \tag{9} \]

\[ u=O(e^{-\sigma x})\quad \text{as } x\to\infty; \tag{10} \]

\[ u(x,y+2c)=u(x,y); \tag{11} \]

\[ \begin{aligned} 4cB={}&-\alpha\int_{\Gamma_0}\sin(2k\alpha x)\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\,dl -B\int_{\Gamma_0}[\cos(2k\alpha x)-1]\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\,dl \\ &-2\alpha\int_{\Gamma_0}u\sin(k\alpha x)\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\,dl -2i\beta\int_{\Gamma_0}u\cos(k\alpha x)\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}\,dl +2i\int_{L_0}[1+u(0,y)]g\,dy. \end{aligned} \tag{12} \]

Here \(\Gamma_0\) and \(L_0\) denote, respectively, the parts of \(\Gamma\) and \(L\) for \(|y|<c\).
The integral relation (12), connecting \(B\) and \(u\), was obtained from Green’s formula for the domain \(D_0\) (\(D_0\) is the part of \(D\) for \(|y|<c\)), applied to the functions \(P\) and \(\cos(k\alpha x)\exp(-ik\beta y)\).

Using the regularity of the functions \(u\), \(B\), and \(g\) with respect to \(k\) in a neighborhood of \(k=0\), we expand them in power series in \(k\):

\[ B=\sum_{p=0}^{\infty}B_pk^p,\qquad u=\sum_{p=0}^{\infty}u_pk^p,\qquad g=\sum_{p=0}^{\infty}g_pk^p. \]

If the resulting expression is substituted into conditions (7)—(12) and all terms having the same power of \(k\) are collected, then, similarly to what was done in (²), we obtain a recurrent sequence of boundary-value problems for the Laplace and Poisson equations:

\[ \Delta u_p+2i\beta\frac{\partial u_{p-1}}{\partial y}+\alpha^2u_{p-2}=0,\qquad (x,y)\in D; \tag{13} \]

\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u_p}{\partial n} +i\beta\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}u_{p-1}\bigg|_{\Gamma} ={}&-i\beta\left[ \frac{1-(-1)^p}{2}\frac{(i\alpha x)^{p-1}}{(p-1)!} -\sum_{r=1}^{p-1}\frac{1-(-1)^r}{2i}\frac{(i\alpha x)^r}{\alpha r!}B_{p-r-1} \right]\frac{\partial y}{\partial n} \\ &+\alpha\left[ \frac{1+(-1)^p}{2i}\frac{(i\alpha x)^{p-1}}{(p-1)!} +\sum_{r=0}^{p-1}\frac{1+(-1)^r}{2}\frac{(i\alpha x)^r}{\alpha r!}B_{p-r-1} \right]\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\bigg|_{\Gamma}; \end{aligned} \tag{14} \]

\[ \frac{\partial u_p}{\partial x} +i\sum_{r=0}^{p-1}g_ru_{p-r-1}\bigg|_{L} =B_{p-1}-ig_{p-1}; \tag{15} \]

\[ u_p=O(e^{-(\pi/c-\varepsilon)x})\quad \text{as } x\to\infty\qquad (0<\varepsilon<\pi/c); \tag{16} \]

\[ u_p(x,y+2c)=u_p(x,y); \tag{17} \]

\[ 4cB_p =-\frac{1-(-1)^p}{2i}\frac{(2i\alpha)^p}{p!}\alpha M_p -\sum_{r=2}^{p}\frac{1+(-1)^r}{2}\frac{(2i\alpha)^r}{r!}B_{p-r}M_r+ \]

\[ +2i\alpha\sum_{r=1}^{p-1}\frac{1-(-1)^r}{2}\frac{(i\alpha)^r}{r!}\,\mu_{p-r}^r -2i\beta\sum_{r=0}^{p-1}\frac{1+(-1)^r}{2}\frac{(i\alpha)^r}{r!}\,\lambda_{p-r}^r +i\nu_p+i\sum_{r=0}^{p-1}\sigma_{p-r}^r . \tag{18} \]

Here the following notation has been introduced:

\[ M_p=\int_{\Gamma_0} x^p\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\,dl,\qquad \mu_p^r=\int_{\Gamma_0} x^r u_p\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\,dl,\qquad \lambda_p^r=\int_{\Gamma_0} x^r u_p\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}\,dl, \]

\[ \nu_p=\int_{L_0} g_p\,dy,\qquad \sigma_p^r=\int_{L_0} g_r u_p\,dy \tag{19} \]

\[ (u_p=B_p=g_p=0\quad \text{for }p<0). \]

In addition, in deriving equality (18) it was taken into account that the function \(u_0\equiv 0\). The latter assertion follows directly from the uniqueness of the solution of the boundary-value problem

\[ \Delta u_0=0,\quad (x,y)\in D,\qquad \left.\frac{\partial u_0}{\partial n}\right|_{\partial D}=0; \]

\[ u_0=O(e^{-\pi x/c})\quad \text{as }x\to\infty; \]

\[ u_0(x,y+2c)=u_0(x,y). \]

From equality (18), for \(p=0\), we obtain

\[ B_0=\frac{i}{2c}\nu_0=\frac{i}{2c}\int_{L_0} g_0\,dy. \tag{20} \]

Similarly, from the same equality for \(p=1\), the relation follows

\[ B_1=\bigl[i(\nu_1+\sigma_1^0)-2\alpha^2M_1-2i\beta\lambda_1^0\bigr]/4c \tag{21} \]

(\(M_1\) is the area bounded by the curve \(\Gamma_0\) and the straight line \(x=0\)).

The functionals \(\lambda_1^0\) and \(\sigma_1^0\) are determined by the solution of the first boundary-value problem (for the Laplace equation)

\[ \Delta u_1=0,\quad (x,y)\in D,\qquad \left.\frac{\partial u_1}{\partial n}\right|_{\Gamma} =-i\beta\frac{\partial y}{\partial n} +B_0\left.\frac{\partial x}{\partial n}\right|_{\Gamma}, \]

\[ \left.\frac{\partial u_1}{\partial x}\right|_{L}=B_0-ig_0,\qquad u_1=O(e^{-\pi x/c})\quad \text{as }x\to\infty, \tag{22} \]

\[ u_1(x,y+2c)=u_1(x,y). \]

Consider a function \(\varphi\), harmonic in \(D\), periodic with period \(2c\), and tending exponentially to zero as \(x\to\infty\), whose normal derivative on \(\Gamma\) takes the value

\[ \left.\frac{\partial\varphi}{\partial n}\right|_{\Gamma} =\left.\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}\right|_{\Gamma}. \]

If Green’s formula for the domain \(D_0\) is applied to the functions \(u_1\) and \(\varphi\), then we obtain

\[ \lambda_1^0=\frac{1}{2}i\beta\lambda_y,\qquad \lambda_y=-2\int_{\Gamma_0}\varphi\frac{\partial y}{\partial n}\,dl. \]

Here \(\lambda_y\) is the added-mass coefficient of the grating \((^2)\), obtained from the corrugated surface by adding to the latter its mirror reflection with respect to the \(y\)-axis.

Substituting the result obtained above into relation (21),

\[ B_1=\bigl[i(\nu_1+\sigma_1^0)+\beta^2\lambda_y-2\alpha^2M_1\bigr]/4c. \tag{23} \]

Thus, the field far from the grating in the first approximation in \(k\) as \(k\to 0\) is determined by the formula

\[ P=P_0+\frac{\alpha+iB_0+iB_1k+O(k^2)} {\alpha-iB_0-iB_1k+O(k^2)} \,e^{ik(\alpha x+\beta y)}; \]

where \(B_0\) and \(B_1\) have been found in the form of expressions (20) and (23) and are entirely and completely computed from the boundary value at \(L\) of the solution of the first boundary-value problem and from the coefficient of the attached mass of the corresponding grating.

To find the reflection coefficient of a plane wave from the original corrugated surface in any approximation in \(k\) as \(k \to 0\), one must use equality (18), whose right-hand side is expressed through the functionals (19), which depend only on the shape of the surface under consideration (the shape coefficients). The above-mentioned shape coefficients are expressed through solutions of the corresponding terms of the recurrent sequence of boundary-value problems for the Poisson equation. Specifying a particular function \(g(y; k)\) entering the boundary condition on the corrugated surface, and the shape of this surface, the recurrent sequence mentioned above can conveniently be computed on an electronic computer.
