D is its boundary, t

L

0 can be the first, the second or the third kind of boundary condition.
We first develop the solution for the case of f
,
u n
) | D =
0 by using the method
of separation of variables. Considering a solution of the form u
= ϕ =

v

substitute it into the wave equation in PDS (2.37) to obtain

T (

,
where
is the separation constant.
As the boundary condition in Eq. (2.38) is not separable for x and y , we cannot
apply separation of variables to solve Eq. (2.38) in the Cartesian coordinate system.
In order to solve Eq. (2.38), consider polar coordinate transformation x
λ
=
r cos
θ
,
y
=
r sin
θ
. Equation (2.38) is thus transformed into

,
v
(

π )=
v
(
r

where k 2
= λ
. Now the boundary condition in Eq. (2.39) is separable for r and
θ
.If
we assume a solution of the form v
=
R
(
r
) Θ ( θ )
, Eq. (2.39) yields
Θ + μΘ =
0
,
Θ ( θ +
