| description | This work concerns the low-frequency interaction of a time-harmonic magnetic dipole, arbitrarily orientated in the three-dimensional space, with two perfectly conducting spheres embedded within a homogeneous conductive medium. In such physical applications, where two bodies are placed near one another, the 3D bispherical geometry fits perfectly. Considering two solid impenetrable (metallic) obstacles, excited by a magnetic dipole, the scattering boundary value problem is attacked via rigorous low-frequency expansions in terms of integral powers (ik)n, where n≥0, k being the complex wave number of the exterior medium, for the incident, scattered, and total non-axisymmetric electric and magnetic fields. We deal with the static (n=0) and the dynamic (n=1,2,3) terms of the fields, while for n≥4 the contribution has minor significance. The calculation of the exact solutions, satisfying Laplace’s and Poisson’s differential equations, leads to infinite linear systems, solved approximately within any order of accuracy through a cut-off procedure and via numerical implementation. Thus, we obtain the electromagnetic fields in an analytically compact fashion as infinite series expansions of bispherical eigenfunctions. A simulation is developed in order to investigate the effect of the radii ratio, the relative position of the spheres, and the position of the dipole on the real and imaginary parts of the calculated scattered magnetic field. |
