An Amplitude Finite Element Formulation for Multiple-Scattering by a Collection of Convex Obstacles

Abstract

We present a multiple-scattering solver for nonconvex geometries obtained as the union of a finite number of convex obstacles. The algorithm is a finite element reformulation of a high-frequency integral equation technique proposed previously. It is based on an iterative solution of the scattering problem, where each iteration leads to the resolution of a single scattering problem in terms of a slowly oscillatory amplitude.
