Hello!
I plan to do some calculation on the subject of ultrasound and was hoping on your input to determine if k-wave was right tool for the job I had in mind. Basically, I'd like to simulate following situation: a source of ultrasound (~1MHz) with a given intensity and single frequency, let say disc shaped source. It generates an ultrasound that propagates in some general direction (precise angular distribution irrelevant). I saw some oscillating piston code in a post earlier that'll do just fine. Anyways, generated ultrasound wave propagates through liquid and at some distance (but still within Fresnel zone) scatters off solid target that may be another disc or infinite plane, whatever's easier to program. Target may be tilted to avoid scatter right back to source and ideally it would absorb significant of incoming energy. All this can be bounded with vacuum or perfect impedance boundary or such. What I'd like to do is to wait for some stationary situation and sum pressure over target surface.
Is this situation possible and feasible to model in k-wave and, if not, what tool would you use?
It is great when you run into a clean and organized code with vibrant community around it, like here. I really hope the answer to my question is YES. I did extensive search of this forum, found very usable knowledge and pieces of code but asking just to be on the safe side.
Kind regards,
Lunej
