It's all built into the governing equations, so there's nothing in particular that you need to do. However, in general, I'd definitely advise running a convergence test (decrease the grid spacing until the answer stops changing).</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/can-k-wave-simulate-rayleigh-wave-propagating-on-the-surface-of-a-large-block#post-6674 Wed, 05 Dec 2018 11:22:41 +0000 scorprulebad 6674@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Dear Brad,</p> <p>Can you give some short insight how to configure k-wave so that Rayleigh waves are correctly modelled? </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/can-k-wave-simulate-rayleigh-wave-propagating-on-the-surface-of-a-large-block#post-6578 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 15:56:17 +0000 Bradley Treeby 6578@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hi umitarabul,</p> <p>The existing codes can capture Rayleigh waves and the various other elastic wave modes (we have now tested this against the global matrix method for layered materials).</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/can-k-wave-simulate-rayleigh-wave-propagating-on-the-surface-of-a-large-block#post-6577 Thu, 13 Sep 2018 13:14:18 +0000 umitarabul 6577@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Dear Brad,</p> <p>Does this mean that the existing functions such as pstdElastic2D can do that or does it require modification in the code to introduce new set of equations?</p> <p>Best, </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/can-k-wave-simulate-rayleigh-wave-propagating-on-the-surface-of-a-large-block#post-5701 Sat, 08 Oct 2016 19:35:32 +0000 Bradley Treeby 5701@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Hi ncsuligang,</p> <p>We have never tested this explicitly, although I don't see any reason why they would not be included in the model. For example, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1190/1.1442147">Virieux</a> shows this kind of behaviour solving an equivalent set of governing equations using the finite difference method.</p> <p>Hope that helps,</p> <p>Brad. </p> http://www.k-wave.org/forum/topic/can-k-wave-simulate-rayleigh-wave-propagating-on-the-surface-of-a-large-block#post-5686 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 21:50:30 +0000 ncsuligang 5686@http://www.k-wave.org/forum/ <p>Notice that k-wave can simulate elastic wave, wondering it is feasible to simulate Rayleigh wave or Lamb wave these type of more complicated wave modes? Thanks in advance. </p>
