TDAAPS 2: Acoustic Wave Propagation in Attenuative Moving Media

Preston, Leiph A.

This report outlines recent enhancements to the TDAAPS algorithm first described by Symons et al., 2005. One of the primary additions to the code is the ability to specify an attenuative media using standard linear fluid mechanisms to match reasonably general frequency versus loss curves, including common frequency versus loss curves for the atmosphere and seawater. Other improvements that will be described are the addition of improved numerical boundary conditions via various forms of Perfectly Matched Layers, enhanced accuracy near high contrast media interfaces, and improved physics options.
