Popis: The scattering of a plane acoustic wave from an acoustically penetrable or impenetrable (soft or hard) sphere separated at a distance from another sphere, also penetrable or impenetrable (soft or hard), of acoustically small radius, is examined. The penetrable spheres and the surrounding medium are fluids or fluidlike; i.e., they do not support shear waves. Separation of variables, in conjunction with translational addition theorems for spherical wave functions, is used. Analytical expressions are obtained for the scattered pressure field and the scattering cross sections. Numerical results are given for penetrable and impenetrable spheres, showing the influence of the small sphere on the scattering cross sections of the other sphere.
