№1. Radiation from a Curved Contour on a Plane via a Parabolic Equation Approach

Research on radiation from a curved contour using natural coordinates, geometric derivations, Helmholtz-to-parabolic reduction, and numerical verification through a Crank–Nicolson scheme. The project page contains Russian-language derivations, PDFs, code, CSV results, and plots.

Project overview
Theory, derivations, numerical code, exported results, and convergence / runtime plots for a curved-contour radiation model.
Geometry Helmholtz Parabolic Numerics Waves Crank–Nicolson
Geometry
Natural coordinates near a smooth contour, Frenet–Serret formulas, and coefficient interpretation.
Reduction
Helmholtz formulation, variable substitution, and parabolic equation approximation.
Numerics
Crank–Nicolson implementation, benchmark circle test, and reference comparisons.
Output
Theory PDFs, Python code, CSV runs, and relative error / runtime plots.
