Product Description

The discrete sources method is an efficient and powerful tool for solving a large class of boundary-value problems in scattering theory. A variety of numerical methods for discrete sources now exist. In this book, the authors unify these formulations in the context of the so-called discrete sources method.

Key Features
* Comprehensive presentation of the discrete sources method
* Original theory - an extension of the conventional null-field method using discrete sources
* Practical examples that demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of elaborated methods (scattering by particles with high aspect ratio, rough particles, nonaxisymmetric particles, multiple scattering)
* List of discrete sources programmes available via the Internet
