Abstract

A generalization of the phase function method known in quantum mechanics to the problems of acoustic wave scattering on continuous medium inhomogeneities is proposed. The idea of the use of this method in acoustics is based on the fact that the wave equation for the acoustic potential or pressure in an inhomogeneous medium is reduced to the Schrödinger equation with a variable scattered field potential by a special substitution.
