acoustotreams.AcousticMaterial.krhos

AcousticMaterial.krhos(k0, kz)[source]

The (cylindrically) radial part of the wave vector for longitudinal waves .

The cylindrically radial part is defined by \(k_\rho = \sqrt(k^2 - k_z^2)\). The returned values have non-negative imaginary parts.

Parameters:
  • k0 (float) – Angular wavenumber in the air.

  • kz (float or array_like) – Z-component of the wave vector. Has units of k0.

Returns:

complex or array_like
