The Scattering of Sound from a Prolate Spheroid

Abstract

This paper presents the results of calculations of the scattering of a plane sound wave from a prolate spheroid. Scattering patterns are given for the major axis equal to λ/π, 2λ/π, 3λ/π, for the ratio of axes equal to 0.10, 0.20, 0.29, 0.37, and for the angle of incidence measured from the major axis equal to 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°.
