Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Wave Propagation
  • Inverse Problems

Background:

  • Noninvasive measurement of acoustic duct shapes is challenging.
  • Traditional methods require direct reflectance or input impedance measurements.
  • The Klein-Gordon equation governs one-dimensional wave propagation in ducts.

Purpose of the Study:
