DEMO
Many surface sources become one field
Change frequency, array width and curvature to inspect reinforcement, cancellation and focusing in the spatial field surrounding the source line.
—
Set curvature away from zero and the sources delay each other into a lens: the beam focuses to a point. That is a phased array, and it is the same maths.
Model scope. A coherent scalar point-source field is evaluated directly on the browser grid. Interactive and refined previews vary display resolution, not the source count used by the sum. It is a propagation teaching model, not the native radiation mesh.
