A modal approximation for the mutual radiation impedance for spherical sources and acoustic wave scattering using an improved ATILA Finite Element code

A modal approximation for the self and mutual radiation impedances has been derived for arrays of spherical transducers with small ka values, where ka is the acoustic wave number multiplied by the radius of the sphere. I term this the "Modal Pritchard" approximation, as it is related to th...
