The problem of scattering of harmonic plane acoustic waves by fluid spheroids (prolate and oblate) is addressed from an analytical approach. Mathematically, it consists in solving the Helmholtz equation in an unbounded domain with Sommerfeld radiation condition at infinity. The domain where propagation takes place is characterised by density and sound speed values $\rho_0$ and $c_0$, respectively, while $\rho_1$ and $c_1$ are the corresponding density and sound speed values of an immersed…
