Transient waves from internal sources in non-stationary media - Numerical implementation

Åberg, Ingegerd LU (1996) In Technical Report LUTEDX/(TEAT-7048)/1-29/(1996)
Abstract
In this paper, the focus is on numerical results from calculations of scattered

direct waves, originating from internal sources in non-stationary, dispersive,

stratified media. The mathematical starting point is a general, inhomogeneous,

linear, first order, 2 × 2 system of equations. Particular solutions

are obtained, as integrals of waves from point sources distributed inside the

scattering medium. Resolvent kernels are used to construct time dependent

fundamental wave functions at the location of the point source. Wave propagators,

closely related to the Green functions, at all times advance these

waves into the surrounding medium. Two illustrative examples are... (More)
In this paper, the focus is on numerical results from calculations of scattered

direct waves, originating from internal sources in non-stationary, dispersive,

stratified media. The mathematical starting point is a general, inhomogeneous,

linear, first order, 2 × 2 system of equations. Particular solutions

are obtained, as integrals of waves from point sources distributed inside the

scattering medium. Resolvent kernels are used to construct time dependent

fundamental wave functions at the location of the point source. Wave propagators,

closely related to the Green functions, at all times advance these

waves into the surrounding medium. Two illustrative examples are given.

First waves, propagating from internal sources in a Klein-Gordon slab, are

calculated with the new method. These wave solutions are compared to alternative

solutions, which can be obtained from analytical fundamental waves,

solving the Klein-Gordon equation in an infinite medium. It is shown, how

the Klein-Gordon wave splitting, which transforms the Klein-Gordon equation

into a set of uncoupled first order equations, can be used to adapt the infi-

nite Klein-Gordon solutions to the boundary conditions of the Klein-Gordon

slab. The second example hints at the extensive possibilities offered by the

new method. The current and voltage waves, evoked on the power line after

an imagined strike of lightning, are studied. The non-stationary properties

are modeled by the shunt conductance, which grows exponentially in time,

together with dispersion in the shunt capacitance. (Less)
