Wave scattering by many small particles embedded in a medium

Abstract: Theory of scattering by many small bodies is developed under various assumptions concerning the ratio

f r a c a d

, where

a

is the characteristic dimension of a small body and

d

is the distance between neighboring bodies

d = O (a^{k a_{1}})

,

0 < k a_{1} < 1

. On the boundary

S_{m}

of every small body an impedance-type condition is assumed

u_{N} = z e t a_{m} u

on

S_{m}

,

1 l e q m l e q M

,

z e t a_{m} = h_{m} a^{- k a}

,

0 < k a

,

h_{m}

are constants independent of

a

. The behavior of the field in the region in which

M = M (a) g g 1

small particles are embedded is studied as

a a 0

and

m (a) a u e

. Formulas for the refraction coefficient of the limiting medium are derived under the assumptions: a)

k a_{1} = (2 - k a) / 3

,

0 < k a l e q 1

, and b)

k a_{1} = 1 / 3

,

k a > 1

.
