Algorithm for the nonlinear propagation of acoustic beams from phased arrays and nonplanar sources

IEEE Trans Ultrason Ferroelectr Freq Control. 2006 Nov;53(11):2188-92. doi: 10.1109/tuffc.2006.159.

Abstract

A multistage algorithm is presented to allow for the convenient and accurate computation of the finite amplitude-distorted acoustic fields produced by phased arrays and nonplanar sources. The algorithm also allows for non-normal (angled) beam computations.
