Acoustic Wavefront Tracing in Inhomogeneous, Moving Media
We extend the Huygens wavefront tracing algorithm, which is a part of an open source Madagascar project, to sound propagation in inhomogeneous, moving media and apply it to a series of benchmark tasks. One set of tasks admits exact analytic solutions and serves the purpose of validation of the new algorithm. Another set of calculations demonstrates applicability of the algorithm to the studies ...
متن کاملRay tracing in absorbing media
In ray tracing, it is standard practice to consider solely the real part of any medium’s refractive index for determining the changes in a ray’s direction at the interface between two media. Any absorption is accounted for by reducing the intensity or weight of the ray in accordance with its propagation distance. This practice is adequate at optical wavelengths where absorption is generally ver...
متن کاملRay Tracing in Non-Constant Media
In this paper, we explore the theory of optical deformations due to continuous variations of the refractive index of the air, and present several efficient implementations. We introduce the basic equations from geometrical optics, outlining a general method of solution. Further, we model the fluctuations of the index of refraction both as a superposition of blobs and as a stochastic function. U...
متن کاملTracing Three-Dimensional Acoustic Wavefronts in Inhomogeneous, Moving Media
We present a numerical implementation of an alternative formulation of the geometrical, or ray, acoustics, where wavefronts rather than rays are the primary objects. Rays are recovered as a byproduct of wavefront tracing. The alternative formulation of the geometrical acoustics is motivated, first, by the observation that wavefronts are often more stable than rays at long-range sound propagatio...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
