Features: 

 

  • Axially symmetric problems
  • Model equations:
    • Khokhlov–Zabolotskaya–Kuznetsov equation (KZK)
    • Nonlinear wide-angle parabolic equation (WAPE)

  • Source types:
    • Single-element transducer with a shape of a spherical segment
    • Multi-element focusing annular array

  • Equivalent source method in the KZK model for strongly focusing sources
  • Plane-layered medium with a frequency power-law absorption
  • Calculation of temporal waveforms and frequency spectra, 1D and 2D distributions of the wave parameters
