  • 5: 11.12 Physical Applications
    Applications of Struve functions occur in water-wave and surface-wave problems (Hirata (1975) and Ahmadi and Widnall (1985)), unsteady aerodynamics (Shaw (1985) and Wehausen and Laitone (1960)), distribution of fluid pressure over a vibrating disk (McLachlan (1934)), resistive MHD instability theory (Paris and Sy (1983)), and optical diffraction (Levine and Schwinger (1948)). …

    §7.21 Physical Applications
    Fresnel integrals and Cornu’s spiral occurred originally in the analysis of the diffraction of light; see Born and Wolf (1999, §8.7). … These applications include astrophysics, plasma diagnostics, neutron diffraction, laser spectroscopy, and surface scattering. …
    7: 9.16 Physical Applications
    Extensive use is made of Airy functions in investigations in the theory of electromagnetic diffraction and radiowave propagation (Fock (1965)). …A quite different application is made in the study of the diffraction of sound pulses by a circular cylinder (Friedlander (1958)). … These examples of transitions to turbulence are presented in detail in Drazin and Reid (1981) with the problem of hydrodynamic stability. … Airy functions play a prominent role in problems defined by nonlinear wave equations. … An application of the Scorer functions is to the problem of the uniform loading of infinite plates (Rothman (1954b, a)).
