Harmonic wave scattering, simulation
Harmonic wave scattering. Numerical simulation of the wave pattern produced by scattering of a harmonic wave front moving from upper right to lower left past a cylinder. The sequence starts at upper left and finishes at lower right. Here, the wavelength is much smaller than the scattering centre, and a shadow, and diffraction effects and scattering effects are visible. This simulation is shown as waves moving across a surface, but is based on the differential equations that describe dispersion-free electromagnetic waves. See C014/7192 to C014/7196 for images showing how the pattern changes with wavelength size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of harmonic wave scattering through a numerical simulation. The image depicts a harmonic wave front, originating from the upper right and moving towards the lower left, encountering a cylindrical obstacle. As the sequence unfolds from the upper left to the lower right, we witness an array of fascinating phenomena. Despite its smaller wavelength compared to the scattering center, this simulation reveals various intriguing effects. A distinct shadow is cast by the cylinder while diffraction and scattering effects become apparent as well. Waves gracefully traverse across a surface in this representation, which is grounded in differential equations that describe dispersion-free electromagnetic waves. The series of images presented here offers valuable insights into how these patterns evolve with changes in wavelength size. By examining related images (C014/7192 to C014/7196), one can observe how altering wavelengths affect the resulting pattern. This artwork combines elements of experimentation and modeling to provide us with a visual representation of complex physical processes. Through meticulous simulations and numerical techniques, scientists have successfully captured both scattered and modeled waveforms. Delving into physics and optics realms, this mesmerizing simulation underscores our ever-growing understanding of harmonic wave scattering phenomenon. This print serves as a testament to Science Photo Library's commitment to showcasing cutting-edge scientific research without any commercial implications
