Abstract: | A method for solving exactly the Helmholtz equation in parabolic rotational coordinates is presented using separability of the eigenfunctions and the Frobenius power series expansion technique. Two examples of interest in acoustics are considered and analyzed quasianalytically: The acoustic pressure in a cavity defined by two paraboloids (forming a lens-shaped structure) with (I) rigid wall boundary conditions and (II) pressure-release boundaries. The rigid-wall (pressure-release) acoustic enclosure problem is a Neumann (Dirichlet) boundary condition problem. In both cases, eigenfunctions and eigenmodes are calculated and the shape dependence of the eigenvalue for the ground state is examined. |
