Acoustic

Acoustic{T<:AbstractFloat,Dim}(ρ::T, c::Complex{T})
Acoustic(ρ::T, c::Union{T,Complex{AbstractFloat}}, Dim::Integer)

Physical properties for a homogenous isotropic acoustic medium with wavespeed (c) and density (ρ)

Simulations in this medium produce scalar (1D) fields in Dim dimensions.

check_material(p::Particle, outer_medium::Acoustic)

Checks if wave scattering from the particle p is physically viable given the material properties of p and its surrounding medium outer_medium.

See sound_hard.

impedance(medium::Acoustic)

Characteristic specific acoustic impedance (z₀) of medium

internal_field(x::AbstractVector, p::Particle{Dim,Acoustic{T,Dim}},  source::RegularSource, ω::T, scattering_coefficients::AbstractVector{Complex{T}})

The internal field for an acoustic particle in an acoustic medium. For a sphere and circular cylinder the result is exact, for everything else it is an approximation which assumes smooth fields.

sound_hard([T::Type = Float64,] Dim::Integer)
