Abstract:The split-step Fourier algorithm for solving the acoustic parabolic equation involves two Fourier transforms, one forward and the other inverse. These may, of course, be replaced by a convolution. For the standard parabolic equation, the particular form of one of the convolved factors allows the convolution integral to be solved using a single Fourier transform. Application of this technique results in a limitation on the allowed range step. When applicable, however, the convolution algorithm reduces computer … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
