Abstract

A computational technique for the solution of problems of wave scattering from multiple spheres is developed. This technique, based on the T-matrix method, uses the theory for the translation and reexpansion of multipole solutions of the Helmholtz equation for fast and exact recursive computation of the matrix elements. The spheres can have prescribed radii, impedances, and locations. Results are validated by comparison with boundary element calculations, and by convergence analyses. The method is much faster than numerical methods based on discretization of space, or of the sphere surfaces. An even faster method is presented for the case when the spheres are aligned coaxially.
