The problem solved previously by Jull (1964) for a perfectly conducting half-plane is extended to the case of an impedance half-plane. As assumed by Jull, the direction of the incident wave is normal to both the magnetostatic field and the diffracting edge. The plasma is characterized by a permittivity tensor; and only the TM incident field is considered, as the anisotropy does not affect an incident TE wave. The impedance boundary condition is found to introduce unidirectional surface waves propagating at some angle into or away from the surface, as well as the usual radiated far fields.

The Stability

The acoustics of a straight annular lined duct containing a swirling mean flow is considered. The classical Ingard–Myers impedance boundary condition is shown not to be correct for swirling flow. By considering behaviour within the thin boundary layers at the duct walls, the correct impedance boundary condition for an infinitely thin boundary layer with swirl is derived, which reduces to the Ingard–Myers condition when the swirl is set to zero. The correct boundary condition contains a spring-like term due to centrifugal acceleration at the walls, and consequently has a different sign at the inner (hub) and outer (tip) walls. Examples are given for mean flows relevant to the interstage region of aeroengines. Surface waves in swirling flows are also considered, and are shown to obey a more complicated dispersion relation than for non-swirling flows. The stability of the surface waves is also investigated, and as in the non-swirling case, one unstable surface wave per wall is found.

Impedance Condition

1. In a recent paper Karp and Karal(1) have suggested a generalization of the normal impedance boundary condition which might be applicable to surfaces which can support more than one surface wave and have determined the total field produced by a magnetic line dipole placed above an infinite plane characterized by such a condition. The theory is at this stage purely tentative and arguments concerning its plausibility are given in (1). The validity of the generalized impedance condition has also not yet been experimentally verified. From the point of view of experimental verification it would seem useful to have available a theoretical solution valid for an arbitrary electromagnetic field incident on a plane characterized by a generalized impedance condition and such a solution is given in the present note. By means of a technique used by the author in related problems (2,3) an explicit solution is given for an arbitrary incident field and it is shown that the radiation field and the amplitudes of the surface waves may be expressed in terms of the radiation field of the incident wave.

The impedance boundary condition for the parabolic approximation is derived in the case of a sea bottom profile sloping at a constant angle, as a non-local boundary condition imposed exactly at the interface. This condition is integrated into the IFD code for the numerical computation of the pressure field and implemented to test its accuracy in some benchmark cases, for which the backscattered field is negligible. It is shown that by avoiding the sloping interface, the results obtained are closer to the benchmark results given by normal mode codes solving the full Helmholtz equation, such as the 2-way COUPLE code, than those of the standard IFD or other 1-way codes, at least for problems that do not have significant backscattering effects.
