It has been well-known that under the assumption of a constant uniform mean flow, the acoustic wave propagation equation can be formulated as a boundary integral equation, in both the time domain and the frequency domain. Compared with solving partial differential equations, numerical methods based on the boundary integral equation have the advantage of a reduced spatial dimension and, hence, requiring only a surface mesh. However, the constant uniform mean flow assumption, while convenient for formulating the integral equation, does not satisfy the solid wall boundary condition wherever the body surface is not aligned with the uniform mean flow. In …

By regarding the study of radial and non-redial stellar oscillations as a problem in potential scattering theory, a standard form of the radial Schrödinger equation can be derived. After establishing some preliminary results of astrophysical interest, an analytic expression for the potential is derived for a truncated (i.e., finite radius) polytrope (or class of self-gravitating compressible spheres) of degree n = 5. Properties of the potential are discussed.
