摘要:
The parabolic approximation to the wave equation is examined within the context of normal mode theory. In a layered waveguide, the horizontal propagation constants and modal amplitudes of the field Ψ satisfying the standard parabolic equation (SPE) approximation can be mapped exactly into the amplitudes and wave numbers of the normal modes for the fieldpsatisfying the Helmholtz wave equation. However, this is not the case for certain other parabolic approximations, such as the wide-angle parabolic equation (WAPE) approximation. Approximate mode functions for the WAPE approximation are developed. These mode functions are then used to decompose range-independent sound-pressure fields computed using the WAPE approximation. The resulting modal coefficients and eigenfunctions obtained using the WAPE mode functions are compared with those obtained using standard normal mode theory.
