Acoustic waves propagating through a fluid area containing randomly distributed coated cylinders

The research investigates acoustic wave propagation through a fluid region containing randomly arranged cylinders coated in identical materials, resulting in multiple scattering and the emergence of an effective wave. It examines the impact of the coating's viscoelasticity, cylinder material, and scatterer volume fraction on this wave. Additionally, it analyzes dispersion and attenuation as acoustic waves interact with the fluid region containing scatterers, particularly emphasizing normal incidence. This comprehensive study advances the understanding of wave scattering in random media, shedding light on this complex phenomenon. By delving into the complex interplay between wave behavior and material characteristics, the research provides valuable insights that can inform various acoustics and materials science applications, contributing to advancements in these fields.
