This paper considers numerical design of finite sound-hard lining (FSHL)-based approximate cloaks with arbitrary shapes. Regarding the complexity of the shape, two new approaches are proposed to design the transformation map from the virtual space to the physical space via transformation optics. For star-shaped geometry, we propose an explicit global transformation map which can be easily differentiated and inverted. For more general shapes, an Initialize-Untangle-Extend (IUE) approach is initiated to build locally piecewise differentiable deformations, which can be locally inverted with the help of an approximate triangulation. With the locally piecewise-constructed transformation, the parameters of acoustic scattering models in physical space can be determined in both approaches based on the transformation invariance of the Helmholtz system. Then the cloaking effects for an arbitrary shape FSHL-based cloak can be realized following Li et al. (2012) [5]. Extensive numerical experiments are presented to illustrate both the effectiveness of cloak design and the efficiency of the proposed FSHL-based cloaks with arbitrary shapes.
