Abstract
A semi-analytical technique for the solution of problems of wave scattering
from multiple spheres is developed. This technique extensively uses the
theory for the translation and rotation of Helmholtz multipoles that was
developed in our earlier work (Gumerov & Duraiswami, 2001). Results are
verified by comparison with commercial boundary element software. The method
developed is likely to be very useful in developing fast algorithms for many
important problems, including those arising in simulations of composite
media and multiphase flow.
