Wave propagation phenomena

  • Chapter
Progress in Boundary Element Methods

Abstract

The phenomenon of wave propagation is encountered frequently in a variety of engineering disciplines. For the design of antennas the interaction with electromagnetic waves has to be known. For earthquake analysis the elastodynamic wave propagation is essential. Knowledge of surface waves of liquids is necessary for the design of harbours and dams, and for the design of pressure vessels and piping networks in several branches of industry pressure transient analyses are required. What these wave propagation phenomena have in common is that they describe the motion of a disturbance with a definite speed (velocity of light, velocity of sound). The specific properties of these waves are reflection,diffraction and interference,-well known phenomena in physical optics.
