Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of diffraction of two-dimensional sound pulses by a homogeneous fluid circular cylinder contained in another homogeneous fluid. The line source is situated outside the cylinder and is parallel to its axis. It is supposed that the velocity of sound inside the cylinder is less than the velocity of sound in the surrounding medium. We investigate the problem by the method of dual transformation as developed by Friedlander. The pulse propagation modes both inside and outside the cylinder are obtained, We interpret the modes as diffracted pulses in terms of Keller's Geometrical Theory of Diffraction. The results agree with Friedlander's conjecture.Keywords
