摘要
A mixed boundary value problem is formulated for the surface currents that are induced by a time-harmonic plane wave incident upon an open-ended conducting tube of finite length. Scattered fields are represented by spatial Fourier transforms in the axial dimension for each of the uncoupled azimuthal Fourier modes of this body of revolution. Numerically efficient mathematical expressions having explicit physical significance are derived to solve the aet of linear equations from a Galerkin expansion of the currents in terms of Chebyshev polynomials with edge-condition weighting. Resultant surface currents and axial fields are calculated for several combinations of scatterer geometry and frequency, and interpreted partially in terms of travelling waves external and internal to the conducting cylinder.
