Abstract：A benchmark model is developed to compute the three-dimensional acoustic field excited by a harmonic point source in a homogeneous wedge-shaped waveguide with impenetrable boundaries. A derivation of the exact solution is presented based on Fourier synthesis, which reduces the three-dimensional ideal wedge problem to a sequence of two-dimensional line-source ideal wedge problems, to which the analytical solution is well established. The details of the numerical implementation of this solution are also provided. Our numerical results indicate that this model is efficient and capable of providing accurate three-dimensional acoustic fields for arbitrary receiver locations, and hence can serve as a benchmark model for sound propagation in a continental shelf environment.
