Abstract
Using integral equations, the scattered field due to an acoustic wave impinging on an arbitrarily shaped cylinder is calculated. The equations are solved by finite difference methods, and the results are compared with those obtained from an eigenfunction expansion for the scattered wave from a right circular cylinder. Both nearfield and farfield results are presented for other cross sections.
