Mild-slope Equation - Transformation To An Inhomogeneous Helmholtz Equation

Transformation To An Inhomogeneous Helmholtz Equation

Through the transformation

the mild slope equation can be cast in the form of an inhomogeneous Helmholtz equation:

\Delta\psi\, +\, k_c^2\, \psi\, =\, 0 \qquad \text{with} \qquad k_c^2\, =\, k^2\, -\, \frac{\Delta\left(\sqrt{c_p\,c_g}\right)}{\sqrt{c_p\,c_g}},

where is the Laplace operator.

Famous quotes containing the word equation:

    “A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
