attenuationWater

Calculate ultrasound attenuation in distilled water

Syntax

att = attenuationWater(f, T)

Description

attenuationWater calculates the ultrasonic absorption in distilled water at a given temperature and frequency using a 7th order polynomial fitted to the data given by Pinkerton (1949, The Absorption of Ultrasonic Waves in Liquids and its Relation to Molecular Constitution, Proceedings of the Physical Society. Section B, 2, 129-141).

Inputs

f

array of frequency values [MHz]

T

water temperature [degC]

Outputs

att

attenuation [dB/cm]
