Effect of compressibility and non-uniformity in flow on the scattering pattern of acoustic cloak

Abstract During the last decade, most of acoustic cloak research has been done within a theoretical framework in which the medium is at rest. However, such an acoustic cloak cannot preserve its unique properties or functions to make an object acoustically invisible in the presence of flow. In this s...
