Measurements of the scattering of sound by a line vortex
Abstract
This paper presents measurements of the phase and magnitude of the scattered field arising from the incidence of a monochromatic plane sound field as a steady vortex. The amplitude of the scattered field was found to vary linearly with the vortex strength, and with the incident wave amplitude and frequency as predicted by solutions based on the Born approximation. The scattered field was observed to be nonsingular in the incidence direction, and this was similar to predictions by the Parabolic Equation Method (PEM) rather than the Born approximation, which predicts singular behavior in the incidence direction.
