Getting Started

The axisymmertric KZK equation is given by:

$$ \dfrac{\partial^2 p}{\partial t^2} - c^2 \nabla^2 p + c \dfrac{\partial}{\partial t} \left[ \alpha \left( \omega \right) \ast p\left(\omega\right) \right] = \dfrac{\beta}{\rho c^2} \dfrac{\partial^2 p^2}{\partial t^2}. $$

Dependencies

This needs the following packages:

• numpy
• scipy
• matplotlib
• tqdm

They can be found in requirements.txt

Usage

From terminal

foo@bar:~$ python3 runner.py

TODO

• outputs which can be validated experimentally
• input from measurements
• testing
• actions with flake8, version
• requirements.txt
