Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we investigate the unknown body problem in a wave guide where one boundary has a pressure release condition and the other an impedance condition. The method used in the paper for solving the unknown body inverse problem is the intersection canonical body approximation (ICBA). The ICBA is based on the Rayleigh conjecture, which states that every point on an illuminated body radiates sound from that point as if the point lies on its tangent sphere. The ICBA method requires that an analytical solution be known exterior to a canonical body in the wave guide. We use the sphere of arbitrary centre and radius in the wave guide as our canonical body. We are lead then to analytically computing the exterior solution for a sphere between two parallel plates. We use the ICBA to construct solutions at points ranging over the suspected surface of the unknown object to reconstruct the unknown object using a least‐squares matching of computed, acoustic field against the measured, scattered field.
