SCATTERING OF A PLANE WAVE BY ROUGH SURFACES: A NEW CURVILINEAR COORDINATE SYSTEM BASED APPROACH

We present a curvilinear coordinate based method giving the field scattered by a plane surface with a cylindrical local perturbation illuminated by a plane wave. The boundary-value problem turns on the same scalar eigen equation that is solved in the spectral domain. Numerical results are successfully compared with those obtained by other rigorous methods
