QUADRATIC LOSS AND SCATTERING OF LONG WAVES

A wave train past sharp convex corners or narrow passages may suffer energy loss due to flow separation. Representing the energy loss by a surface drop proportional to the square of the local velocity, the effects incurred on the wave train are studied for one-dimensional transmission problems. When the constriction is asymmetrical, an induced current is found along with the radiation of higher harmonics.
