Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Boundary-value problems (BVPs) pertaining to scattering and radiation by devices supporting novel wave phenomena are of primary importance in Applied and Computational Mathematics, Computational Physics and Engineering. Modeling such BVPs with analytical or semi-analytical techniques is essential to obtain solutions with controllable accuracy and in small execution time. These solutions can be considered as significant benchmarks and starting points for optimizing efficiently the devices parameters in order to achieve specific near- or far-field variations. The purpose of this special issue is to gather contributions from experts on analytical and semi-analytical techniques with application domains including but not limited to single- or multiple-particle scattering, metamaterials, direct and inverse scattering by inclusions in layered media, propagation in waveguides, resonators, and analysis of periodic, layered or complex media. The techniques applied for the analytical modeling are expected to span from integral-equation/differential-equation based methodologies to generalized separation of variables and Fourier-series expansions as well as to Galerkin and eigenfunction series techniques. Contributions with main emphasis on numerical methods for wave phenomena are also welcome provided that they exploit analytical means at certain stages of the procedures employed for the derivations of the solutions.

Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems have ushered in a new era for wearable and implantable technologies, introducing opportunities for enhanced device functionality. A pivotal aspect in improving these devices is the optimization of electromagnetic transmission. This paper presents several solutions to improve electromagnetic transmission to an implantable/wearable device. Several scatterers are considered to mimic objects that can be easily worn by a patient, such as necklaces and bracelets, or easily integrated into textile fabric. An analytical method is employed to address the scattering by cylindrical objects above a biological tissue, modeled as a multilayer. Expansions into cylindrical waves, also represented through plane-wave spectra, are used to express the scattered fields in each medium. Numerical results for both the case of conducting and of dielectric cylindrical scatterers are presented at a frequency of the Industrial, Scientific and Medical band (f=2.45 GHz), showing possible configurations of worn objects for electromagnetic field intensification.

In Electromagnetics, the field scattered by an ensemble of particles—of arbitrary size, shape, and material—can be obtained by solving the Lippmann–Schwinger equation. This singular vectorial integral equation is generally formulated in the direct space Rn (typically n=2 or n=3). In the article, we rigorously computed the Fourier transform of the vectorial Lippmann–Schwinger equation in the space of tempered distributions, S′(R3), splitting it in a singular and a regular contribution. One eventually obtains a simple equation for the scattered field in the Fourier space. This permits to draw an explicit link between the shape of the scatterer and the field through the Fourier Transform of the body indicator function. We compare our results with accurate calculations based on the T-matrix method and find a good agreement. Full article

In this paper, we present the scattering of plane waves through two junctions with step-down cascading discontinuities. The solutions in the form of trapped modes corresponding to discrete eigen values are also presented. We illustrate the matching of continuity of pressure and velocity at the edges, conservation of energy, convergence/error of reflection, and reflection and transmission of the incident wave that go through the wider region. We discuss the reflection and transmission amplitudes by varying dimensions of wave-guide structure against wave number. We plot the surface and contour plots along with absolute potential solutions at different frequencies where extrema of field amplitudes occur. We also derive the results of extra ordinary acoustic transmission (EAT) for existing models. We apply the Mode Matching Method (MMM) to tackle the problem. Our model would be beneficial to structure the old and new models containing cavities and junctions. However, these structure models cannot retrieve our proposed geometrical model. The results will be helpful to model the practical exhaust system in noise reduction theory. Full article

Graphene twistronics using multilayer graphene is presented in such a way that it provides a metamaterial effect. This manuscript also analyzes the prediction of behavior using machine learning. The metamaterial effect is achieved by twisting the graphene layers. Graphene twistronics is a new concept for changing the electrical and optical properties of bilayer graphene by applying a small angle twist between the layers. The angle twists of 5°, 10°, and 15° are analyzed for the proposed graphene twistronics design. Tuning in the absorption spectrum is achieved by applying small twists to the angles of the bilayer graphene. Results in the form of absorption, conductivity, permeability, permittivity, and impedance are presented for different twist angles. The twisted graphene layers also demonstrate negative permittivity and negative permeability, similar to metamaterials. These negative refraction properties of graphene twistronics provide flexibility and transparency, which can be applied in photovoltaic applications. Machine-learning-based regression models are used to reduce the simulation time and resources. The results show that a regression model can reliably estimate intermediate wavelength absorption values with an R2 of 0.9999. Full article
