Abstract

A highly parallelizable numerical method to solve three-dimensional time-dependent acoustic obstacle scattering problems involving passive or smart, furtive, realistic obstacles is presented. â聙聵â聙聵Realisticâ聙聶â聙聶 obstacles have complex geometries, â聙聵â聙聵passiveâ聙聶â聙聶 obstacles do not react by taking an action to pursue a goal when hit by an incoming wave, and â聙聵â聙聵smart furtiveâ聙聶â聙聶 obstacles, when hit by an incoming wave, pursue the goal of being undetectable by circulating a suitable pressure current on their boundaries. Incoming wave packets containing time-harmonic waves of small wavelengths when compared with the characteristic dimension of the obstacles are considered. The features of the computational method proposed to solve these scattering problems that can be exploited in a parallel and/or distributed computing environment are presented. Numerical experiments involving a simplified version of the NASA space shuttle are discussed.
