We deal with the scattering of an acoustic medium modeled by an index of refraction $n$ varying in a bounded region $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and equal to unity outside $\Omega$. This region is perforated with an extremely large number of…

We compute the analogue Hawking radiation for modes which posses a small wave vector perpendicular to the horizon. For low frequencies, the resulting mass term induces a total reflection. This generates an extra mode mixing that occurs in…
