Gaussian beam method for computing outdoor acoustic fields

A new method for ideal dose distribution of two adjacent fields for external beam radiation therapy

 Abstract Background: Adjacent treatment fields are commonly used in external beam radiation therapy, such as mantle and inverted-Y fields for the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease and craniospinal fields used in the treatment of medulloblastoma and head and neck tumors when the lateral neck fields are placed adjacent to the anterior supraclavicular field. In each of these situations, there is a p...

A wavefront-based Gaussian beam method for computing high frequency wave propagation problems

We present a novel wavefront method based on Gaussian beams for computing high frequency wave propagation problems. Unlike standard geometrical optics, Gaussian beams compute the correct solution of the wave field also at caustics. The method tracks a front of two canonical beams with two particular initial values for width and curvature. In a fast postprocessing step, from the canonical soluti...

Gaussian beam decomposition of high frequency wave fields

In this paper, we present a method of decomposing a highly oscillatory wave field into a sparse superposition of Gaussian beams. The goal is to extract the necessary parameters for a Gaussian beam superposition from this wave field, so that further evolution of the high frequency waves can be computed by the method of Gaussian beams. The methodology is described for R with numerical examples fo...
