Close-to-touching acoustic subwavelength resonators: eigenfrequency separation and gradient blow-up

by H. Ammari and B. Davies and S. Yu

(Report number 2020-03)

Abstract
In this paper, we study the behaviour of the coupled subwavelength resonant modes when two high-contrast acoustic resonators are brought close together. We consider the case of spherical resonators and use bispherical coordinates to derive explicit representations for the capacitance coefficients which, we show, capture the system's resonant behaviour at leading order. We prove that the pair of resonators has two subwavelength resonant modes whose frequencies have different leading-order asymptotic behaviour. We, also, derive estimates for the rate at which the gradient of the scattered pressure wave blows up as the resonators are brought together.

Keywords: subwavelength resonance, high-contrast metamaterials, bubbly media, bispherical coordinates, close-to-touching spheres, capacitance coefficients.
