The transducer model itself is pretty simple: a vibrating piston.</p> <p>My initial thought for this is to use a velocity source for the ultrasound and add an extra sinusoidal velocity to this representing the vibration.</p> <p>The alternative would be to move the source in the manner described in the Doppler example, but I fear my grid size is orders of magnitude too coarse for the displacements caused by the unwanted vibration.</p> <p>I would be grateful to hear any suggestions on this. </p>
