“Exact” Frequency-Dependent Rays in Acoustic Media and Their Properties

详细

The numerical algorithm for tracing “exact” frequency-dependent rays, which makes it possible to trace these rays in arbitrary media is proposed. In addition, a numerical investigation of the properties of rays under consideration and comparison of them with the standard ray theory and finite-difference simulation was performed. The results of numerical experiments for a number of models, including the Sigsbee model, containing a salt body of complex shape are presented.
