This paper is a report of a theoretical investigation of sound scattering from liquid cylindrical obstacles immersed in water following closely the conditions prevailing in the previous experimental work of Tamarkin, Bauer, and others. An incident plane wave being assumed, series solution was found for the total scattered wave. Numerical calculations were carried out using parameters approximating those of Tamarkin's experiments (radius of obstacle, 0.635 cm; sound frequency, 1.145 mc/sec; wavelength, 0.13 cm). A series of scattering patterns, confined principally to the forward direction for an angular spread of about 14° (with the obstacle at the vertex) were calculated for eight liquids, chosen to give a spread ofkiavalues (kithe wave parameter inside the liquid andathe radius) between 26.0 and 41.0. The results of this theoretical investigation confirm the experimental findings that for the liquids examined the scattering is diffractive and lies in the zone between the geometrical region and the region of Rayleigh scattering. Quantitative comparisons are made between the theoretical and experimentally plotted results with special emphasis on the experimental resonance curve and its theoretically computed counterpart.
