Abstract

Acoustic propagation and scattering in water containing many parallel air-filled cylinders is studied. Two situations are considered and compared: (1) wave propagating through the array of cylinders, imitating a traditional experimental setup, and (2) wave transmitted from a source located inside the ensemble. We show that waves can be blocked from propagation by disorders in the first scenario, but the inhibition does not necessarily imply wave localization. Furthermore, the results reveal the phenomenon of wave localization in a range of frequencies.
