ABSTRACT

The primary purpose of this chapter is to describe ray tracing methods for sound propagation in a moving medium, as based upon the equations developed in Part I of this book. This topic will be the focus of section 10.3. Prior to that section, however, some background will be provided on sound levels (section 10.1) and interactions of sound waves with the ground (section 10.2). These topics are pertinent to the discussion of ray tracing as well as numerical methods to follow in later chapters.
