释义

Helmholtz equation


The Helmholtz equation is a partial differential equationMathworldPlanetmath which, in scalar form is

2f+k2f=0,

or in vector form is

2𝐀+k2𝐀=0,

where 2 is the Laplacian.The solutions of this equation represent the solution of the wave equationMathworldPlanetmath, which is of great interest in physics.

Consider a wave equation

2ψt2=c22ψ

with wave speed c. If we look for time harmonic standing waves of frequency ω,

ψ(𝐱,t)=e-jωtϕ(𝐱)

we find that ϕ(x) satisfies the Helmholtz equation:

(2+k2)ϕ=0

where k=ω/c is the wave number.

Usually the Helmholtz equation is solved by the separation of variablesMathworldPlanetmath method, in Cartesian, spherical or cylindrical coordinatesMathworldPlanetmath.
