acoustotreams.AcousticMaterial.kzs

AcousticMaterial.kzs(k0, kx, ky)[source]

The z-component of the wave vector for longitudinal waves.

The z-component of the wave vector is defined by \(k_z = \sqrt(k^2 - k_x^2 - k_y^2)\). The returned values have non-negative imaginary parts.

Parameters:
  • k0 (float) – Wave number in air.

  • kx (float, array-like) – x-component of the wave vector

  • ky (float, array-like) – y-component of the wave vector

Returns:

complex, array-like
