This study introduces a new algorithm for simulating wave propagation through multiple layers, useful for medical imaging and material science. The method accurately predicts pressure fields in complex layered media.

Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Wave Propagation
  • Computational Modeling

Background:

  • Accurate modeling of wave propagation in layered media is crucial for applications like medical ultrasound and non-destructive testing.
  • Existing methods often struggle with arbitrary layer orientations and complex material interfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel algorithm for simulating longitudinal wave propagation through multiple randomly oriented isotropic layers.
  • To enable accurate prediction of space-time pressure fields in layered media for arbitrary output planes.

Main Methods:

  • A planar forward projection algorithm is combined with ray theory.
  • Wavevector frequency-domain methods are employed to project the pressure field.
  • The algorithm simulates propagation through an arbitrary number of randomly oriented isotropic layers.
